Cohousing communities cluster private, self-sufficient dwellings around a
community center. Potential homeowners participate in the development of the
community and help establish priorities from the very beginning. The
resulting tightly-knit intergenerational neighborhoods make it easy for
families to share childcare, yard work, and other resources. Clustering the
homes and designing for energy efficiency reduces both day-today costs and
the impact on the environment.


The CoHousing Company has designed and developed dozens of cohousing
communities in the United States and has received several awards - just
recently for Cotati Cohousing in Cotati, California. The company was founded
by cohousing pioneers Kathryn McCamant and Charles Durrett after their
extended research of similar communities in Denmark. Learn more at
