Like intentional communities, cohousing is a way for people to share resources while connecting with each other and the planet in more meaningful ways. What sets them apart might be that joining — or building — a cohousing neighborhood often involves significant investments in real estate and the community. Homes are privately owned while shared buildings are owned by the community.

In Their Words…
Cohousing is an intentional, collaborative neighborhood that combines private homes with shared indoor and outdoor spaces designed to support an active and interdependent community life. Cohousing is not a financial or legal model, but rather a descriptive term that emphasizes the active participation of residents in everything from design to governance.
