COHOUSING OFFERS

Successful communities share core values & vision such as inclusiveness, diversity and sense of community. 

Stability

Cohousing is designed to increase interaction between neighbors, sharing resources and working together to sustain a diverse and inclusive residential community.

Solidarity

People value the sense of belonging to something bigger than themselves and living amongst people who share your core values and convictions.

Security

Knowing your neighbors and sharing tasks, food, friendships and more reduces uncertainty in the face of unexpected problems or threats.

Sustainability

Sharing strategies complement eco-friendly & energy-efficient building features as residents eat meals together, ride share and shop share.

Giving does not only precede receiving; it is the reason for it. It is in giving that we receive.
