Cohousing-L Mailing List: Tour CA Cohousing Communities

[Trish Becker-Hafnor (trish]

Hello everyone,

As part of the upcoming Cohousing & Beyond Summit in Sacramento on November 2, 
we are offering two full days of community tours — and you can purchase tours 
when you register for the summit or separately if you are not attending. Space 
is limited, so we encourage you to reserve your spot soon.

October 31 – Sacramento & Davis Area Tour
On this tour, you’ll visit several foundational communities that helped shape 
cohousing in the U.S. We’ll begin at Southside Park Cohousing, a vibrant urban 
community in Sacramento. Then we’ll head to Washington Commons Cohousing, a 
newly completed urban infill project in West Sacramento. From there, we’ll 
travel to Davis to explore Muir Commons, the first cohousing community built in 
North America, followed by a walk through N Street Cohousing, an innovative 
retrofit neighborhood where individual homes became a connected, cooperative 
community.

November 1 – Sierra Foothills Tour
This day trip will take us to scenic cohousing communities nestled in the 
Sierra Nevada foothills. We’ll start at Fair Oaks EcoHousing, a 
multigenerational community that blends sustainability and connection just 
outside of Sacramento. Then we’ll visit Wolf Creek Lodge, a senior cohousing 
community in Grass Valley designed for aging in community. We’ll end the day in 
historic Nevada City at Nevada City Cohousing, a long-standing 
intergenerational neighborhood known for its strong social fabric and natural 
beauty.

These tours are a unique opportunity to experience cohousing up close, meet 
residents, and get inspired by the variety of ways communities are creating 
connection and resilience.

We hope to see you on one of the tours and at the summit in Sacramento on 
November 2.
