In a way, people have been living communally since we were hunter-gatherers. In those times, it was impossible to live by yourself. People had to rely not only on their families but also on families in their communities. Everyone pitched in and supported each other, and there was less distinction between one person\u2019s space and another\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>This continued into the Middle Ages where widows, orphans, unrelated elders, servants, friends, and relatives lived together. And with the Industrial Revolution, co-living became convenient for people who moved to cities for work, and boarding houses became quite popular.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"img-with-aniamtion-wrap \" data-max-width=\"100%\" data-border-radius=\"none\"><div class=\"inner\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-shadow=\"none\" data-shadow-direction=\"middle\" class=\"img-with-animation \" data-delay=\"0\" height=\"800\" width=\"1200\" data-animation=\"fade-in\" src=\"https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/MetroResidences-Expat-Life-apartment-rental-singapore.-co-living-sg.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/MetroResidences-Expat-Life-apartment-rental-singapore.-co-living-sg.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/MetroResidences-Expat-Life-apartment-rental-singapore.-co-living-sg-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/MetroResidences-Expat-Life-apartment-rental-singapore.-co-living-sg-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/MetroResidences-Expat-Life-apartment-rental-singapore.-co-living-sg-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/MetroResidences-Expat-Life-apartment-rental-singapore.-co-living-sg-900x600.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" alt=\"MetroResidences - Expat Life - apartment rental singapore. - co living sg\" \/><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1688525068238{margin-top: 20px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;]These boarding houses offered accommodation for all kinds of people during the World Wars: women working away from home, men stationed far from home, immigrants, and travelers.
