What we do

Hearthstone Cohousing is an urban, multi-generational cohousing community located in northwest Denver, Colorado. We have 33 townhomes, a common house and shared green areas. We are within walking distance of many locally owned businesses including a grocery store, restaurants, coffee houses, and bookstores, as well as public transportation. We are a 10-minute drive or 30 minute bike ride from downtown Denver. Please visit our website (http://hearthstonecohousing.com) for more information.
