COMMUNITY:

The housemates in this house live as a co-living community, or in Dutch: "huishouden". 'Huishouden' is a requirement of the municipality.

This means that either:
1. you are a family (a family is by definition a 'huishouden').
or, 2, the group lives like a community/huishouden, meaning:
- the group has the intention to live for a longer term in this house, not just a few months.
- the group likes to have dinners with each other (not necessarily every day, but regularly, like in a family).
- the group likes to do regularly social activities together, like sometimes visiting a museum, watching a movie, etc.
- the group has 1 bank account with the house, for the shared expenses, like energy, gas, and househould costs (salt, pepper, cleaning liquids, etc).
- the definition 'huishouden' does not mean that you need to cuddle every night with the housemates on the couch. The things to avoid is distancing: no individualistic people who have completely separated lives and have no idea about their other housemates. The group can keep their own our privacy too, and haves its own jobs, and their own friends; just like in a family: brothers & sisters living together but also having their own lives & own privacy.

DISTANCES:

- in the Netherlands, public transport is in good condition: the connections are great, the reach is far, and the transport is safe.
On top of that, the bike is a very popular way of getting around the city, because it is safe and quick. Using the bike is safe, because basically every car road, has a separate bike road "fietspad". Just google for yourself "fietspad", and you can see the images of a Dutch bike road. A car is hardly used by students, and working people are also using their cars less and less. Even the Dutch prime minster goes by bike to his work! (you can google the images of that too :-)
- Supermarkets: Albert Heijn (350 meters), Aldi (800 meters).
- Sportclub: Anytime Fitness (300 meters).
