Blue Ridge Cohousing
About Us
We are committed to
using professionals and
the advice of experts to
realize
our goals.
We are a group of families committed to
establishing multi-generational cohousing around
Charlottesville, Virginia.  We have
land, zoning
approval and are looking for new members.  We
also have
house designs and computer-generated
views of the entire neighborhood.

We represent a diversity of ages, backgrounds and
experiences, including families with small children
and retirees.  

Several families have a wealth of experience in
cohousing and intentional communities.  Blue
Ridge Cohousing has strong ties with cohousing
professionals and existing cohousing
neighborhoods and will not hesitate to use these
experts for advice and consultation.
