Cohousing Communities
Neighborhoods with Connection & Purpose
Who We Are
What sets The Cohousing Company apart is our deep commitment to understanding who the people of a community are and, perhaps more importantly, who they want to become. This philosophy has driven our work since the beginning in 1984.
Cohousing Design Process
By engaging community members to shape the community they will call home, we help create designs that foster meaningful relationships, neighborhoods that reflect shared values, and support long-term success.
Our Dedication to Housing for All
We are deeply committed to creating spaces that improve the lives of those who need care and consideration. Learn more about our mission to create spaces that are inclusive, supportive, and nurturing for everyone.
This is Cohousing: The Cohousing Podcast
For nearly 40 years, Charles has explored how design and community can help us live more sustainably, affordably, and connected to one another. Through conversations with residents, organizers, architects, and developers, this podcast explores the ideas, history, and real-world practice of cohousing—and how better neighborhoods can create a better future.
