The countdown is on – Saturday, April 29th is the 2nd Annual National Cohousing Open House Day! We Californians are excited to have 12 participating communities showcasing their neighborhoods, plus an organized bus tour of many planned for the day.

California is the birthplace of U.S. Cohousing. In 1991, residents moved into Muir Commons in Davis – the first cohousing in North America. There are now 165 communities across the U.S., with 33 built in California. Take this opportunity to visit one near you, or plan a trip out of town!

Participating communities include:

– Berkeley Cohousing (Berkeley)
