leefgroep
A leefgroep, translating to "living group" or "co-housing group" in English, is a form of communal living where a group of unrelated individuals or families choose to share a common living space and often a communal lifestyle. These groups are typically formed by people who desire closer social connections, mutual support, and a more sustainable way of living. The specific arrangements within a leefgroep can vary widely. Some might share a single large house with individual private rooms and shared common areas like kitchens, living rooms, and bathrooms. Others might live in separate dwellings within a shared complex, with extensive communal facilities for dining, recreation, or workshops.
The motivations behind forming a leefgroep are diverse. Common reasons include combating loneliness, reducing living costs
