Coliving can be an intentional community . CoHousing can be an intentional community . CoHousing tends to be an intentional community more often while coliving is moreso done for profit. CoHousing can be for profit but it's rare.
With cohousing everybody intends to be neighborly and wants to work together because of the nature of the building process. CoHousing also has a more refined communication process because youre going to be dealing with the same people throughout the years. Coliving is rarely done by residents and developers chat necessarily mandate communication style stuff like cohousing groups can .
With coliving you can be more of a nomad and find coliving state to state. With cohousing you are tied to one place with freedom to move around like any homeowner. It's possible to be welcome in multiple cohousing buildings and build a network of places you can stay but it's not guaranteed. You'd have to make friends with people in different buildings most likely
Until next time
