With the rising and nearly unattainable prices for homes, the idea of shared housing is gaining a foothold. One company in San Luis Obispo, California is building on this idea while also bringing in community and affordability.
Smart Share Housing Solutions is planning on a smart, affordable housing community.

Smart Share Housing Solutions is a company focusing on providing innovative housing solutions, particularly in the context of shared living. The company addresses a growing demand for affordable housing by creating modern, flexible, and community-oriented shared living environments.
Their concept includes a range of offerings. These include co-living spaces, fully furnished homes, shared amenities, and smart home features that allow for greater efficiency, comfort, and connectivity.
Their latest project is Waterman Village. Located near downtown San Luis Obispo, this community project will feature 20 small (220-260 square feet) homes on foundations. They will each be self-contained and built around a neighborhood park around a restored adobe building.
Waterman Village will also feature:
- a cultural heritage center that models sustainable living practices and encourages walking and bicycling
- all-electric, high efficiency homes connected to city infrastructure as well as solar panels
- a common space that fosters interaction and neighborhood connections
Smart Share Housing Solutions aims to make housing more accessible and appealing to those who value flexibility, community, and affordability in their living arrangements. By offering shared living spaces with integrated technology and design, they cater to a modern demographic looking for something beyond the traditional housing model.
