Greyrock Commons is located on 16 acres of land about three miles northwest of “Old Town” Fort Collins, Colorado. With a spectacular view of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, beautiful gardens, and connected neighbors, Greyrock Commons does not resemble typical housing developments. Designed as a cohousing community, Greyrock includes 30 energy efficient townhomes of various sizes clustered on six acres, each with its own small private yard or garden. The front doors of the homes face common areas or the central green where much community activity takes place. The site layout was designed to be pedestrian friendly and to minimize the impact of vehicles. Ten acres of the site are dedicated to open space that supports wildlife, walking paths, community vegetable gardens, and a large playing field. Within a half mile is the Poudre River and access to numerous bike and walking trails that follow the river and wind through Old Town Fort Collins.

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.
