Welcome to Great Oak Cohousing
Upcoming Meals:
Great Oak, the second Cohousing community in Ann Arbor, completed building in 2003. Great Oak consists of a total of 37 households, ranging from young families to retired couples. About half of us have kids living at home.
Cohousing is a form of collaborative housing that offers residents an old-fashioned sense of neighborhood. In cohousing, residents know their neighbors very well, and there is a strong sense of community that is absent in contemporary cities and suburbs.
Cohousing communities consist of private, fully-equipped condominiums and extensive common amenities including a community building (or "common house") and recreation areas. They are designed and managed by the residents who have chosen to live in a close-knit neighborhood that seeks a heathy blend of privacy and community.
