Oakcreek Community

Overview

Oakcreek was started in 2009 by an initial group of eight households who wanted to retire in Stillwater but couldn’t find a suitable housing alternative here. This initial group began researching cohousing and looking into the options for building, siting, financing and marketing our new community. We hired the architectural firm of McCamant & Durrett (who had brought the cohousing idea from Denmark and pioneered it in North America) and engaged the consulting services of Cohousing Partners (now Cohousing Solutions) to assist with the development process. In September 2009, we created a limited liability company (Stillwater Senior Cohousing, LLC) to serve as a temporary entity that would build the community and sell homes to the initial group of homeowners.

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.
