More prosaically, co-living can simply mean roommates and common rooms, like a dorm. For some developers, it’s a form of adaptive reuse: many co-living sites, like WeLive at 110 Wall Street , are leased, in this case from the landlord of what once was an office building, drained of its tenants by Hurricane Sandy. Slide Show Adventures in Co-Living Credit Photographs by Andrew White for The New York Times There are still co-living evangelists, like Brad Hargreaves of Common, who has promised that “the genuine and organic relationships our members build with each other,” as he wrote in a post for Medium, would not be tainted by allowing journalists to sleep over at Common properties (though they were welcome to tour). With over $23 million in financing, Common now operates in five cities, including out of eight houses in New York City. Some co-living ventures have collapsed under the weight of their ideals, like the utopian Pure House , started by Ryan Fix, now 42, in his Williamsburg l...

Name: Matt Casper and Ted Dorsey Location: Echo Park — Los Angeles, California Size: 2,132 square feet Years lived in: 6 years, owned Going to a dinner party at Matt and Ted's is probably the grown-up equivalent of going to Disneyland. While their dining room alone makes the Haunted Mansion look like child's play, every room in the house possesses its own unique design that feels both sophisticated and fun. From an office filled with fake pine trees to a New Mexico- inspired guest room , the fun themes throughout their historic craftsman are tasteful, eclectic, and provide the perfect kindling to ignite hours of good conversation . Both Matt and Ted spend a great deal of time writing and working from their home offices, each of which has its own unique aesthetic. Matt is a licensed psychotherapist and writer who has written a series of books, Emotes, to help children better understand and manage emotions. He chooses to do most of his work from the "forest" room,...

[Floorplan] When: Sunday, August 27 (2 p.m. to 3 p.m.) ↑ For $385,000, there’s this small but sun-filled studio in Sutton Place. The apartment makes decent use of its space and is equipped with a full kitchen with a good amount of cabinets and a full bathroom. [Floorplan] When: Sunday, August 27 (1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.) ↑ Perhaps a price chop will help this quirky studio, now asking $450,000, find a buyer.

Wa nt the charming coziness of a country retreat but can’t quit the urban hustle and bustle? You don’t have to choose! From Brooklyn to the Bronx, cottage- style dwellings sit smack -dab in the city. The most recent (and eye-catching) example is the East Village property that hit the market in July. But never fear, fully-on-the- market options abound . Set atop a ho-hum structure — and recently listed for $3.5 million — the penthouse/cottage combo has just gone into contract. NY Post Brian Zak East Village Price: $3.5 million (in contract); Beds: 4; Baths: 3½; Sq. Ft.: 2,736 New York is chockablock with unique properties, but it’s hard to imagine an apartment more one-of-a-kind than the duplex penthouse of a five-story walkup at 72 E.
