Increase of unmarried person and diversification of housing needs enhance interest in shared living. An internet survey on shared living was conducted and answered by 711 single women and 434 mothers of high school daughters to know their attitudes toward the shared living and the difference of attitude structure between the two groups. The following were the major conclusions of this study: (1) About 30% of answerers have interest in shared living. Major merits they answer are care in case of sudden illness and economy and major demerits are risk of incompatibility and trouble with other residents. (2) There is a difference of attitude structure between the two groups. Single women’s interest in shared living is affected by interaction with other residents and mothers’ interest is affected by security and economy. (3) Single women who greet neighbors or participate in community activities tend to have more interest in shared living and those who values residents’ policing tend to have more interest in it.
