Finding a Site

The Right Site is More Than Just Land

To establish a cohousing community, a group must first secure a suitable and feasible building site. We are here to assist you in navigating this essential first step.

A suitable site is the cornerstone of any successful cohousing project. In fact, securing a site is the number one predictor of whether a group will be able to bring a cohousing community to life. Without a site, even the most cohesive and well-organized groups often struggle to maintain momentum and focus. The right location not only clarifies the vision of your project but often plays a key role in defining its scope and success.

Finding the ideal site goes beyond simply identifying available land. We will guide your group through the entire process—from defining and prioritizing site criteria to touring existing communities for inspiration. We’ll assist in identifying potential properties, navigating competition with professional developers, and engaging with realtors to secure the best opportunities.

Most importantly, our team will conduct an assessment of each potential site with locals, best ensuring that your choices align with your budget and long-term goals. This strategic approach will be a crucial factor in making your cohousing project a reality while keeping costs in check.
