What we do

Imagine a neighborhood where single family homes and villas with porches in the front so you can say hi to your neighbors as you walk by. You can enjoy having beautiful community gardens and greenspaces with room to be outdoors and enjoy the company of others in common areas. Consider a neighborhood where differences are valued, respected, and treasured. Think what it would be like to live in a place where friends are neighbors and neighbors are friends.

So, what does it look like?
A small and affordable universally-designed neighborhood (20-40 homes) that facilitates working together to intentionally plan the space and amenities to be accessible by all. Retain your privacy but know there are people to hang out with and things to do where you have interests in common.

Our Values:
Intentional Neighboring
Collaborating with people of diverse ages, abilities and family structures, we commit ourselves to creating and maintaining a sustainable neighborhood that is safe, accessible and caring for all residents; a space where everyone feels a sense of belonging.

Different is Good/Compassion is Key
No matter the ability level, One Kin Roof embraces everyone. All neighbors have a right to be respected, included, and appreciated as valuable members of the neighborhood. [deleted the rest of the statement]

Honesty and Trust
The foundation to any good relationship is trust. We view our neighbors as lifelong supportive friends. We value working together to find solutions, even when we agree to disagree.

Collaboration/Cooperation
Through mutual appreciation, generosity, sharing, and flexibility, we will live cooperatively with one another.

Participation
We value sharing the load and the merging of ideas. Participation is critical to the success of intentional co-housing communities (Private homes clustered around community spaces). Each of us chooses how to give of oneself and the energy brought forward.

Our Vision

Our mission is to offer an inclusive neighborhood that represents the diversity in our society. Our vision is a living and learning neighborhood that values inclusion, belonging, and purpose for people of all backgrounds, abilities, and age groups. Imagine a neighborhood where everyone is supporting one another to live their best authentic life.

Oak Park Commons Cohousing – Plan to Move in Fall 2025

Illinois’ first cohousing community fosters intergenerational connection, diversity, and inclusiveness. We welcome all those who share our vision of creating a sustainable residential community in a vibrant urban suburb. Oak Park Commons Cohousing seeks new members. Join the dozen households that have already helped plan and design a five story, 24-unit building near the commercial heart of Oak Park, Illinois. The building includes a mix of one, two, and three, bedroom ADA accessible units. A package friendly first floor mailroom adjoins the lobby, elevator, and parking entrances. Noise mitigation and energy efficient air conditioning assure year-round comfort. The Carpenter & Madison streets corner location includes within a pedestrian friendly half mile radius: a middle school, bus stop, grocery co-op, drug store, bank, CTA train station, Unity Temple, Rush Hospital, Fox Park, Mills Park, and many restaurants. Madison has traffic calming and bike lanes. The Village commercial center, barely a mile away offers the Lake Theatre Cinema, Trader Joes, Whole Foods, Formula Fitness Center, Public Library, Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio, and specialty retail and service shops. Oak Park includes excellent K-12 schools. Lincoln public elementary school offers an optional Spanish bilingual program, Gwendolyn Brooks middle school’s wonderful performing arts opportunities and OPRF high school’s great college and career prep. Eight two and three bedroom units are still available for purchase starting at $406,640. Buyers pay a five percent earnest fee when signing a purchase agreement that goes toward down payment at closing. Units available for occupancy starting the last week of October 2025. Visit our website and talk with some of our members to learn more about who we are and how we envision building our community together.   Website: https://oakparkcommons.com/ Contacts: Charles Hoch 708-721-8817; Susan Stall 708-772-8817
