• Want To Join Us?

    We are a lively group of active adults who have been meeting together since April, 2025 to plan the kind of cohousing community where we would like to live.

  • Recreating the Old-Fashioned Neighborhood

    A modern living arrangement where community is a way of life, built on friendly cooperation and mutual support.

  • Designed for Connection

    Imagine a car-free central village with shared gardens, art studios, and a Common House for the joy of shared meals.

  • Private Sanctuary, Shared Elegance

    Enjoy the peace of your own modest home and kitchen, with the warmth of a trusted community right outside your door.

  • A Vastly Superior Way to Age

    Defeat social isolation and stay active in a neighborhood where neighborly assistance and vibrant friendships are the norm.

  • Your Seat at the Table Awaits

    Join us as we build a sustainable, green-centered legacy for active adults in the heart of Elderberry Commons.
