In a society that praises independence but often suffers from disconnection, many people are discovering that the key to better mental health isn’t just access to therapy—it’s access to people. As Dr. Connor Robertson writes, “one of the biggest mental health challenges today isn’t access to therapy — it’s access to people.”
At reSpace, we’re redefining what it means to come home—not just with innovative co-living design, but with a groundbreaking model of co-homeownership. Our approach blends affordability, shared equity, and intentional living to foster connection, stability, and wellbeing.
Because we believe housing should support not only your financial goals, but your mental and emotional health too.
The Silent Mental Health Crisis in Housing
Millions of people today live in modern, well-designed apartments—yet feel completely alone. Traditional housing prioritizes privacy, but often at the cost of connection. And that disconnect is dangerous.
According to the U.S. Surgeon General, loneliness can be as harmful as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. It’s not just about feeling down—it’s a true public health emergency.
Co-Homeownership Designed for Belonging
That’s where reSpace comes in. Our co-homeownership model combines private suites with shared common areas in beautifully designed homes located in walkable, amenity-rich neighborhoods.
By design, reSpace homes foster interaction through shared kitchens, open living spaces, and curated community rituals—all while giving each resident full ownership of their private suite.
As Dr. Robertson puts it, “You don’t have to be extroverted or socially aggressive to make friends. The environment does most of the work for you.” It’s connection without pressure. Solitude without isolation.
A Soft Landing for Big Life Moments
Whether you’re moving to a new city, shifting careers, or seeking a reset after a major life change, the transitions we go through as adults often come with loneliness.
reSpace offers more than just a place to live—it offers a built-in support system. In Dr. Robertson’s words, co-living provides “a soft landing.” You’re not starting from scratch—you’re stepping into a space already designed to welcome you in.
Wellness Is Built Into the Blueprint
reSpace homes are thoughtfully crafted to promote wellness at every level. From natural lighting and calming finishes to community dinners and co-ownership circles, every element is intentional.
“Environment shapes emotion,” Dr. Robertson reminds us. And at reSpace, we’ve designed each property with that truth in mind—to create spaces that don’t just look good, but feel good to live in.
The Power of Co-Homeownership
reSpace goes a step further than traditional co-living: we offer the opportunity to own your space within a shared home. You build equity, gain financial stability, and still enjoy the social and mental health benefits of community living.
This isn’t renting with roommates. It’s a new pathway to ownership—especially for those who’ve been priced out of traditional real estate.
Final Thoughts
We often think of mental health care as something that happens in a therapist’s office. But sometimes, the most powerful intervention is simply not being alone. reSpace is building homes that foster belonging—places where people are seen, supported, and connected. We’re not just changing housing. We’re reimagining what it means to live well.
