Sharingwood Cohousing

Overview

Sharingwood started as an intentional community in 1982 when Shirley Risser, age 72, bought half interest in a 38 acre parcel of land with the intention to create a cooperative community based on private homes with shared common elements.
After the original land plat for 30 homes was approved in 1988, and after the first wave of houses was built, we learned about Cohousing from Katy and Chuck and right away thought, AHA! Cohousing describes perfectly what we are doing here.

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.
