Explore whether living in a cohousing community could be right for you
Do you long for another housing choice?
Are you enjoying the level of community and connections you would like to have among the people who live in your immediate senior-only building, you are not alone if you wish there was a housing choice that fostered connections among neighbors and made it easier and more natural to work together for the common good of your community.
Cohousing communities are being created by people like you who come together to create neighborhoods that increase social connections and create healthy communities. Cohousing communities can become an antidote to the social isolation that can be experienced at any stage of life.
