The ultimate focus of this community is to create & be a viable alternative to “the system,” while also seeding and facilitating the reproduction of this alternative through outreach, assistance, education, & leadership. We recognize the Oneness of all things and seek to serve, preserve, and improve Life through positivity, creativity, natural living, regenerative permaculture, rewilding, planting, sustainable building & sustainable technology, studying, sharing, healing, giving, selflessly being, & more. We know and have come to understand the truth of the saying, “the more we give, the more we have,” and our purpose is the eternal betterment of all things. Help us to create a place where humans can live naturally, peacefully, joyfully, & sustainably. By working together, following the laws of nature and aligning with the Way of the Universe, eating our species-specific diet, letting go of unnecessary things, doing good deeds, and putting our best effort in every single day, we know that, as a collective, we can build a solid foundation capable of withstanding climate change and all the challenges to come. Think of this vision like the Garden of Eden with sustainable technology, run by 100% sustainable renewable energy. And indeed, we are deeply inspired by the Garden of Eden and other conceptions of humanity’s ideal beginnings and endings, for we believe that the return to Heaven on Earth is our destiny… as long as we pass the necessary tests of the Way. As the old saying goes, “as it was in the beginning, so shall it be in the end.” This community does not seek to be a good thing that happened once-upon-a-time but a living model and a parent of sustainable communities to come, a leader, helper, and teacher, and an example of the kind of places that Global Paradise, where world peace is finally realized, will consist in. Our intention in this is pure, our meaning sincere, and our goal worthwhile. We ask everyone, regardless of race, gender, sexuality, age, creed, status, location, language, culture, identity, ability, or past, to join us, visit us, help us, connect with us, or simply reach out to say hi. We see you, we love you, and we wish you all joy!

p.s… You don’t have to move here for us to consider you a member. If you want us to, we will, and it’s really that simple! In fact, long-distance membership is encouraged for all who may not wish or be able to come be here with us physically. If you want to join, just reach out and say I! We will be more than happy to add you to our numbers and communications, and you may involve yourself in our work & life however you see fit. Many thanks and many blessings to you. Go in peace!

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
