About the Community

What we do

Village Hearth Cohousing members began moving into our community in May 2020. Built on 15 beautiful wooded acres just 15 minutes from downtown Durham, NC, we have 28 accessible, single-level homes that we planned with the guidance of Katie McCamant and Charles Durrett. We are so pleased with the way our community has come together. Our members are committed to mutual support, and they bring a wide variety of skills and interests to share. Village Hearth Cohousing is the first LGBT-focused 55+ cohousing community in the United States. Our members include LGBT couples and singles, straight couples and singles, still working and retirees (and our pets!) We’ve eaten the food grown in our gardens, built things to enhance our homes and community in the woodworking shop, hiked, biked, and kayaked at the many nearby natural areas, stayed fit in the exercise room, meditated in our woods, and enjoyed each other’s company on our front porches and common house terrace. For more information, visit our website, www.VillageHearthCohousing.com, or follow us on Facebook. Contact Pat or Margaret at [email protected] to learn how to join our Resale Notification List.

Our Mission

To create a caring community of LGBTs, friends, and allies with the infrastructure to age in place, balancing the privacy of a smaller sustainable dwelling with opportunities for social engagement and the support of the larger community.
