Cohousing-L Mailing List: Baltimore Site under contract!

[Lorraine Faris (lor.f50]

A Cohousing Community for Proactive Adults

Hello


We’re excited to announce that Cohousing of Greater Baltimore, LLC has land
under contract! The 1.1-acre site will be the future home of our senior
cohousing community.  The site is in a residential neighborhood in
Baltimore City, near Hampden, zoned R-6 and having a walkability score of
87/100.


The community will consist of individually-owned market-rate condos, each
with a complete kitchen, and indoor and outdoor areas which extend living
and gathering spaces. The central space, known as the Common House,
typically includes a large dining room, kitchen, lounge, workshop space,
and guest rooms. The building will house sufficient parking at ground level
with three to four levels of residences above (32 - 40 units).  The main
level will consist of an approximately 2500 square foot common area which
will be subdivided according to the preferences of the members. The
elevator building will be sustainably developed with a focus on energy
efficiency.



The site is in a walkable neighborhood close to shops and cafes. Living in
Baltimore provides access to world-class health care, professional sports,
a vibrant arts, music and theater scene, an abundance of universities and
recreational opportunities such as hiking and boating.



Cohousing of Greater Baltimore, founded in 2018, is poised to begin the
development of the first cohousing community in Baltimore, and the first
senior cohousing community in the state of Maryland. There are
approximately two hundred established cohousing communities in the United
States, including two in the state of Maryland.



Cohousing of Greater Baltimore holds virtual information sessions and is
actively seeking new members. Joining now allows members to collaborate in
the design and development process, form relationships with future
neighbors and secure seniority when the project begins unit selections.
