Cantine’s Island Cohousing balances community with privacy. The original 12 houses and the Common House, built in the late 1990’s, surround a green oval. There are no driveways or cars in this section of the property.
By design, folks
must walk by their neighbor’s homes when they leave or return. There is a parking lot located outside of the green. In cohousing tradition,
this arrangement encourages interaction with neighbors.

About Cohousing

Cohousing refers to private communities where residents live in clusters of homes or condos close to one another. Cohousing embraces community involvement as a lifestyle. Residents share everything from mealtimes to cleaning and laundry duties and even celebrations and holidays.

Senior cohousing communities are specifically designed to foster strong bonds and a sense of community among residents. These communities provide an opportunity for active seniors to join a close-knit group of individuals who share common interests and values. Living in a senior cohousing community allows you to engage in social interactions with fellow residents, both inside your own private home and within the common areas of the community. The physical layout and design of these communities facilitate easy interaction and encourage neighborly connections.

These communities often offer a range of shared activities and resources, such as craft classes, woodworking workshops, day trips, and extended travel opportunities. The emphasis is on creating an inclusive environment where individuals can bring their own talents, skills, and abilities to contribute to the community.
