About the Community

What we do

We are a multi-generational community set in a beautifully landscaped avocado orchard on California’s Central Coast. Midway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, we are 20 minutes south of San Luis Obispo (home of California Polytechnic University), and just 2 miles from the Pacific Ocean, including the majestic Oceano Dunes. We are also surrounded by the Central Coast’s award-winning wine country. While we live in a private, quiet, safe setting, our neighbor, Pismo Beach, is a bustling travel destination with fun-filled activities and stunning views of the ocean. Even the monarch butterflies love coming here every year. Our 27 homes are designed with passive solar features, our Common House incorporates solar energy, and members are welcomed to participate in the community garden. (As a bonus, we are next door to a pesticide free farm overflowing with a variety of produce.) Members enjoy a yoga studio, workshop, community garden, playground, and a large Common House with guest rooms, big screen TV room, library, dining and kitchen areas. Though it takes energy and time to maintain this beautiful land and keep up with the business needs of cohousing, we value play as much as work! We have common meals (including a potluck) and a variety of social gatherings throughout the year. Our time together tending the community is rewarding. After all, we’re nurturing connection and securing the future of our investment. We welcome your visit to our beautiful home!

Our Mission

The work of cohousing is partnered with the social elements of community. We work together and play together and sometimes those two feel the same (because work is enjoyable, productive and inspiring). Our work is an investment in our environment, therefore it is valued and transformational. We find that when we work together on community needs, we become more connected and satisfied with our lives in cohousing. Synopsis of Responsibilities Each Tierra Nueva member is expected to contribute his/her “Work Share” in the following ways: 1. Active participation in 2-3 affinity teams 2. Attend monthly business meetings 3. Participate in TN Work Days
