Hey PH Community! 👋 It’s our first time launching on PH and we’re stoked to be able to share more about our community houses and Gen Z Casa with everyone!
My name’s Ami, and living in houses with amazing communities for the past (almost) year, I’ve personally grown an incredible amount as an individual, friend, community member, creative, and professional in (absolutely) all facets of my life. I’ve also been astonished by the number of young people who constantly and consistently approach me to get involved, immersed, and take part in houses. Especially as COVID hit last year and there’s been a shift in FOW and shift in perspectives, Gen Z is becoming restless to build together, create together, and just be together in a community with others who share the same values and interests.
With Gen Z Casa, our goal is to allow for more young people to have access to the best community houses across the globe, that are the perfect fit for each individual.
How Gen Z Casa works:
1. Sign up! (even if you’re a young millennial 😊 ) Signing up will allow us to better understand your preferences and what you’d be looking for in a community house. You can also sign up just to stay updated on houses, events, and community stuff! 🚀
2. We’ll reach out and give recommendations and matches based on your preferences. 📲
3. Just apply, book the experience, and get ready to live!! 🏡 We’re focusing on this summer and fall, but will be working nonstop to best support you!
Whether you decide to take a less traditional education route or drop out, take a gap year or are a new grad, are looking for a community in midst of your summer internship or as you're transitioning career paths, living in a community house can be incredibly impactful, resonating, and an overall amazing experience (especially for young builders, creators, and investors)!
Looking forward to everyone’s questions, feedback, and/or comments! Also appreciate you ALL for checking us out and hope you have an amazing rest of the week!
Let’s change the way we as young people build community and live :) 🏘

Looks great Ami! Congrats!
Curious question regarding Gen Z.
Is there a trend in Gen Z's looking to live with people that share their ambitions work/values compared to finding a place with perhaps their best friends from home/college etc?
As there's a rise in remote, gig and creator economies I guess it makes it possible to have a larger and diverse interest for community homes?
Like with the rise of the digital nomad, I see there being a huge rise in demand for this.
Best of luck!

@leojbarnett Thanks for checking us out Leo! Agreed with all the statements you've mentioned! With more young people taking untraditional pathways, living communities are an amazing way to have a place to feel at home and also grow as a person. The shifts in FOW and creator space also is a huge contributing factor as you mentioned!!
@mika_reyes Thanks Mika! So so glad we met through a casa and can't wait to create more experiences :)

Damn this is exactly what i have been looking for! @ami_yoshimura do you have a list of all the houses available?

This is a pretty dope concept! I really like the idea myself, considering I've been stuck in the same location for the past year and I think getting outside and living with communities would have really helped out. Do you have any plans on integrating with a focus towards people engaged in productivity or creating startups, for example, allowing people to get together to work on several startups together in a house to provide an incubator type feel while allowing for networking? Or is the product mainly intended for young people to enjoy and have fun?
@ami_yoshimura Congratulations on the launch, and welcome to the Product Hunt community. Really love the idea. I would like to call it the 'life accelerator', exposing one to years of experiences in a short period of time, for personal and professional upliftment :)
@adityavsc Thanks for checking us out Aditya! I also love how you get to grow and understand soo many facets of life from it in an accelerated period of time. Can't recommend the experience enough :)
Congrats on the launch, Ami!! 🔥this looks amazing. Curious to hear where you see Gen Z co-living/community houses once colleges/workplaces begin to return to pre-covid in-person!
@michelle_fang2 Thanks so much Michelle :) I think there's been an overall huge shift in willingness to take part of these experiences, largely due to covid allowing Gen Z ers to see how powerful community is and the power of remote culture and work. I also think people's typical educational pathways are changing, and are always looking for living communities when they're not living a "typical" university experience!
