Cohousing-L Mailing List: Common House usage

[Del Holland (delholland]

Several on this thread have referred to the idea that in a senior cohousing 
community, a kids room might not be relevant to your project.  

To the contrary, we, at Prairie Hill, in Iowa City, Iowa, while not a senior 
cohousing community,  have found our kid’s room, pre-Covid, got much use from 
grandchildren as well as being used as a venue to entertain children of the 
broader community's members attending meetings here.  It is great to have a 
place where we can house favorite toys, books, costumes etc for enthusiastic 
use by these occasional visitors.  Many of these small visitors have expressed 
their reluctance to leave (sometimes tears and tantrums) when the adults are 
ready to go.
