Cohousing for Singles
Single folks of all ages make up an important part of any cohousing community for different reasons. For some, they love groups like Compass because it’s a social connection right outside the front door. For others who travel a lot, it’s knowing that there are trusted friends around to keep an eye out while you’re away. For a few, their children have grown and a spouse has passed so the cohousing community becomes an extension of their family.
Whatever the reason, cohousing for singles offers a lot of lifestyle benefits.
Brittany shares with you what she likes best about cohousing for singles and why she joined the Compass community.
Being single, some very small part of me shares the same fear as Bridget Jones: that one day I will die fat and alone and only be found three weeks later half-eaten by Alsatians. This fear touches on issues like loneliness, health, purpose and the need to leave a lasting legacy. As a rom-com, Bridget Jones suggests that the solution is to find a man and (possibly) build a family.
But I believe the true solution is to build yourself a community and a found family. Living so that every day you see and interact with people who know you and will miss you when you are gone.
Cohousing is one of the best ways to achieve this goal and assuage the fear of loneliness.
That’s why I joined.
