The amount of social capital being created and exchanged is a great barometer of a community’s health! Examples of items recently shared by neighbors at Phoenix Commons include: umbrellas, batteries, books, dogs, movies, kitchen gadgets, sweatshirts, rides, and yes, even the occasional cup of sugar! #cohousing #WeLoveToShare https://www.yesmagazine.org/issues/dirt/community-relationships-borrowing-from-neighbors-strengthens-democracy-20190318

Our first Saturday brunch was a huge success. Great company and wonderful food.
Game night is always more fun when you know each other! #cohousing
Supportive friendly neighbors right outside your door? Check. Sharing of resources, knowledge, and responsibilities? Check. All the community you want with all the privacy you need? Check. For aging boomers who understand that personal independence can be maximized through social interdependence, senior cohousing communities are an extremely attractive option.
Phoenix Commons celebrated Spring with a delicious potluck on our outdoor patio. As usual, the yummy food, the delightful company, the fresh flowers and the perfect weather provided for another exciting event.
Join us for a dinner or party in our common areas and you’ll quickly realize that cohousing is NOT just for hippies! PS. But hippies are welcome here too — we are just a few miles away from Berkeley after all! #cohousing #someofusarehippies
