I'm currently in the process of finding an apartment to move out of my parents house.

The city I'm going to move to has high rents though. One option would be to share apartments with someone else. Google translator tells me the word is "flat-sharing community", but I'm not sure if it is the best word to decribe it.

The only problem is, most of the shared of apartments are occupied with college students. Our livestyles would be too far apart to create a healthy living situation.


Then I remembered one thread I read on here:
It mentioned "project scottsdale", an apartment full of 3 fastlaners, pushing each others to new limits.

I immediatly started googling "entrepeneur flat-sharing", and the only results talk about start-up founders moving together with their partners into their office.
Sounds good, except it feels more like a big circle jerk to feel important as a startup and spend that investor money.

I initially wanted to ask "how do you find entrepeneurs or fastlaners to move together with", but I won't.
"Moving in with entrepeneurs and then getting to know them" is coming from the wrong direction, it has to be the other way around - "Getting to know entrepeneurs and once you think it can work out, move together".

What I'm going to ask instead is "have you made any experiences in sharing your apartment with other entrepeneurs?"
What makes it better than living alone, what makes it worse?

Maybe this fits better into the "socialising" subforum..

(If you want to move to Düsseldorf, Germany - hit me up haha)
