The fundamental aspect of cohousing is that neighbors get to know each other. In order to create that sense of community, cohousing neighborhoods consist of 20-40 private homes, clustered among shared facilities, fostering a village feeling. A typical Common House includes a large kitchen and dining area for optional shared dinners a few nights per week, a living room, kids’ play room, and guest rooms. Some also include a workshop and rooms for fitness or crafts/sewing. Recreational open spaces are shared. The design of the neighborhood encourages spontaneous interaction, including conversation, movie nights, game playing, dancing, and more.

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.
