Sunward Cohousing

Sunward Cohousing is an intentional community of forty private homes clustered on five acres within a 20-acre site of woods, prairie and ponds. About 90 residents of all ages live here, from families and singles to retirees, with a range of cultural, ethnic and spiritual backgrounds. Residents share a common house, a meal program and a commitment to living together, and the community is self-governed, with everyone taking part in decisions about the buildings and grounds.

Parking sits on the edge of the campus, so the interior is a pedestrian neighborhood with no through-traffic that is easy to walk and safe for children. Two community dinners are held each week, and the common house has a large kitchen, dining room, wood shop, exercise room and children's play rooms. Overnight guest rooms are available for a requested donation. The community lies one-half mile west of Ann Arbor, about a ten-minute drive from downtown, and a WAVE bus stop is on site.
