Privacy is another factor that is considered for a community living. There's a myth revolving around co living that you don't get desired privacy. When you look out for a coliving space, you are not only sharing space but also your interests with those partners of yours. Definitely, you can get the desired privacy in a community living too because you make the final decision about the place and your partner. The most common misconception about co living is that the co living spaces are similar to hostels or PGs. No, it's definitely not! The thing is that you are provided with all the basic essentials and the amenities. So, the truth behind this myth is that community living isn't a hostel or a PG with certain rules but a place where you reside based on your interests and you have the choice for making the final decision.The people in this generation are a few steps forward as compared to the people in the olden times. The millennials prefer to step out, if opportunity knocks their door. The idea of moving out of your native place is quite common these days with people shifting to new cities for their job or studies. Coliving has been adopted by many of them upon shifting to a new place. Some think of it as a thing to be ignored and prefer rental homes while some prefer coliving over other living options. However, there are some myths surrounding the idea of coliving. Let's know what myths revolve around the idea of coliving and what are the actual facts about them.

The foremost misconception about co-living is that it is only for the young people and not for the ones who belong to the middle-age or the older generation. People think that only the youngsters can be comfortable in a coliving or community living as they get adapted to their surroundings very easily. The truth is that a person of any age group can take up coliving spaces according to the environment they want to live in and according to the communities they want to get socialized with. Coliving or community living offers everyone a choice to select coliving spaces and their partners according to what they want. Another myth is that coliving is only for the people who shift frequently after a certain period of time. Although interests and tolerance are considered while opting for a coliving but it does not necessarily mean that coliving is only for a specific category of people. There are some coliving spaces with which people get so attached that they decide to continue living at those places.

Last but not the least, some couples think that co-living or community living is not made for them. The reality is that any couple can opt for coliving where you can choose your partners you are going to live with. After all, you are sharing not just the rent of the coliving space but also the day-to-day life with them. The people who have interests similar to yours and who socialize with the people of your type can be your best partners at coliving spaces. This definitely provides you the comfort you expect in a community living.
