Have you ever dreamed of living in a neighborhood where neighbors know one another well, children can play and explore safely, and seniors are able to age in their own homes?
Benefits of living in cohousing

Cohousing gives residents a unique blend of community and privacy. Households have independent incomes and private lives, but neighbors collaboratively plan and manage community activities and shared spaces. Self-management empowers residents, builds community, and saves money. Cohousing provides support to families raising kids (built-in childcare and affordable community meals) and gifts older adults a supportive community setting (allowing for active aging).
Thriving sense of community • Living lighter on the planet
Safe place for kids and seniors • Private homes
"What is cohousing?"
Cohousing is an intentional neighborhood of private homes clustered around shared space. Each attached or single family home has traditional amenities, including a private kitchen. Shared spaces typically feature a common house, which may include a larger kitchen and dining area, laundry and recreational spaces. Shared outdoor space may include parking, walkways, open space and gardens. Neighbors share resources while maintaining independent lives.
Households have independent incomes and private lives, but neighbors collaboratively plan and manage community activities and shared spaces. The legal structure is typically an HOA, Condo Association, or Housing Cooperative. Community activities feature regularly-scheduled shared meals, meetings, and workdays. Neighbors gather for parties, games, movies, or other events. Cohousing makes it easy to form clubs, organize child and elder care, and carpool.
