We have come a long way towards the design of our community (site plan), Common House and private houses through a series of workshops that took place from December 2017 through the end of June 2018. We expect to have design drawings by mid-August and submit to the City of Novato in September. We are expecting to control the land within the next year and break ground in early 2020. Stay tuned for more details about our community's plans...
We currently have 15 out of 31 households and are looking for more families to join our community!

Greetings! We've been interested in cohousing for years and are so excited to join a community forming in the Bay Area!
We look forward to common meals, community gardening, neighborly company, and collaborative decision making
. We are a teacher and social worker who love the outdoors, the kitchen (and other people's kitchens), listening to podcasts, and exploring new places together on foot, bike, and flotation device. We're thrilled that our baby will have playmates, older sibs, and lots of aunts and uncles in his daily life at C Street.

Rob and Rosa are Northern California natives who have come to appreciate what Marin has to offer. When not working or caring for their infant daughter, they enjoy
hiking, trail running, camping, backpacking, and other outdoor pursuits.
They also enjoy travel, cooking, and working on projects. Rob is a cynical idealist and Rosa is a idealistic realist, and both have experience with cooperative living. Both are looking forward to putting down deeper roots in the North Bay.

Building Momentum for Cohousing in Marin
|
|
Growing awareness is essential. But what we really need are future neighbors seeking to live in community in the 2019 timeframe. We understand commitment takes time, so please join us at an upcoming meeting as we continue the momentum toward designing & creating the culture of our community.

We can only do this together.
