Let’s be honest: spending time with friends is one of the best parts of life. Whether it’s sharing a meal or a good laugh, those moments are what make life feel full. With our schedules feeling busier than ever, it’s no surprise that spending time with loved ones has become harder. In 2022, only one in five Canadians said they saw their friends on a typical day—down from nearly half (47%) in 1986. With the cost of living and housing on the rise, living closer with friends can make life more affordable and a lot more fun. Here are seven spacious homes where hanging out is as easy as walking down the hall.
