Two local cohousing communities are opening their doors to friends, neighbors and the media during the National Cohousing Open House weekend on May 4th-5th.
Wolf Creek Lodge, 800 Freeman Lane in Grass Valley, will be welcoming visitors on Sunday, May 5th from noon to 2 PM, while Nevada City Cohousing, 200 Redbud Way, is open from 2 to 4 PM.
“This open house day is a great opportunity to meet those who live in these communities and discover how it works,” said Bob Miller, a long-time resident of Wolf Creek Lodge.
Other cohousing communities across the nation will also be participating, including Northern California communities Fair Oaks EcoHousing in Fair Oaks and Washington Commons in West Sacramento.

About Cohousing
Cohousing clusters private homes around shared facilities to create intentionally collaborative neighborhoods. Each home provides traditional amenities, including a private kitchen, while also having access to common amenities. Cohousing offers a homeownership model where people can buy with traditional mortgages.
In cohousing, you know your neighbors and can share responsibilities like yard work, cooking meals, and even child care. Work is divided among members based on each person’s strengths and skills. Gardens and green spaces are collaboratively tended. It’s easy to find someone in the spur of the moment when you need a ride to the doctor or want to go on a hike. By creating a culture that supports health, sustainability and connection, cohousing communities make it easy to live a more fulfilling life.
