Cohousing Directory - Community View

Genesee Garden Cohousing is a diverse group of neighbors and friends growing a retrofit cohousing community rooted in working together, sharing resources, living with compassion and mutual respect, actively caring for our natural and social environments, embracing peace and tolerance, and promoting the health of ourselves and our wider community.

Our current membership consists of two families with children, two single parents with a child, and nine single adults with grown or no kids (total fifteen adults and six children). We meet Fridays for a meal together and biweekly Wednesdays for business, plus one Saturday a month for longer meetings tackling larger topics.

In addition to meals and meetings, we also gather together to share happy and sad events in our lives, celebrate holidays, and watch movies. We swap childcare. We have work-parties to accomplish larger community tasks, and garden together.

We are a retrofit or infill type of cohousing project, using existing houses in the neighborhood to create our intentional community. We have friendly relations with most of our immediate neighbors, some of whom participate in some activities with us. Currently twelve houses are owned by members of Genesee Garden Cohousing. One of these houses is still in the process of major renovation.

We are looking for new members! There are houses for sale nearby that, once purchased, could be included as part of Genesee Garden Cohousing. There are also options for renting, both within Genesee Gardens Cohousing and in the immediate neighborhood.
