What does GH mean in HOUSING & AMENITIES

Group housing, or GH, is a type of living arrangement that promotes communal living. It usually involves people sharing a common space such as a house, apartment, or dormitory.

Group housing is popular among college students, families looking for an alternative to traditional single-family homes, working professionals who are trying to budget their expenses and retirees who are looking for companionship.

Group housing can provide greater affordability because of shared amenities and resources such as internet access, furniture and appliances. The savings can add up over time. Other benefits include having people nearby when needed and being part of a supportive community in which everyone looks out for each other's well-being.

Typical spaces included in group housing arrangements may include private bedrooms, shared bathrooms and communal areas like kitchens and living rooms. Some settings may also offer outdoor spaces, game rooms and study lounges for residents to use.

One downside could be not having enough privacy since you have other people living with you in close quarters. There also might be occasional disagreements about cleaning up the common areas or how late guests can stay over during certain nights of the week.
