Why people choose Doonside
Coliving with CDA in Doonside
CDA's shared accommodation homes in Doonside are deliberately smaller than a coliving share house — typically three or four people in one house, not eight. You get the rent benefit of sharing, a private furnished bedroom, ID-checked housemates and one bundled bill, without the busier common-room culture of a larger coliving home.
