Cohousing Association of the US

Cohousing is a form of intentional community where private homes are clustered around shared spaces designed to foster connection and collaboration. At the heart of the community is a common house, typically featuring a large kitchen and dining area, laundry facilities, and recreational rooms. Outdoor spaces often include walkways, gardens, open areas, and shared parking.

These communal areas serve as a hub for neighbors to cook meals together, share tools, enjoy recreational activities, and support one another. The management and upkeep of common property are handled collectively by residents, creating regular opportunities for cooperation and deepening social bonds.
