Cohousing of Greater Baltimore

We’re excited to announce that Cohousing of Greater Baltimore, LLC has land under contract!  The 1.1-acre site will be the future home of our senior cohousing community.  The site is in a residential neighborhood in Baltimore City, near Hampden, zoned R-6 and having a walkability score of 87/100.

​

Cohousing communities are intentional and collaborative, combining extensive common facilities with private homes, designed to support an active and interdependent community life. Environmental sustainability is a core value in cohousing.

Future residents are involved in the collaborative design and development so that it reflects their priorities. The project will be designed as fully accessible and suitable for aging in place.  Self-run and self-managed, residents will be responsible for planning social activities and caring for the common space and garden. Once completed, cohousing communities are typically self-managed condo or Homeowners Associations. 

​

The community will consist of individually-owned market-rate condos, each with a complete kitchen, and indoor and outdoor areas which extend living and gathering spaces. The central space, known as the Common House, typically includes a large dining room, kitchen, lounge, workshop space, and guest rooms. 

The building will house sufficient parking at ground level with three to four levels of residences above (32 - 40 units).  The main level will consist of an approximately 2500 square foot common area which will be subdivided according to the preferences of the members. The elevator building will be sustainably developed with a focus on energy efficiency.

​

The site is in a walkable neighborhood close to shops and cafes. Living in Baltimore provides access to world-class health care, professional sports, a vibrant arts, music and theater scene, an abundance of universities and recreational opportunities such as hiking and boating. ​
