The Finish Line is in Sight For Bozeman Cohousing!

First Move-Ins Slated for July 2023

Bozeman Cohousing is abuzz with activity as they prepare for first move-ins this July!


The first-of-its-kind community in Montana has been in the works since 2019, with our very own Katie McCamant having hosted the kickoff workshop in January 2020.


Bozeman Cohousing is situated on 5 acres and will have 43 units, two of which have been designated as affordable. Interest in the community has been exceptional with units continuing to sell rapidly. There are just a few units left so if you're interested in becoming a neighbor at Bozeman Cohousing, contact them today!

Mission Peak Village Earns Thumbs Up From Fremont Planning Commission!

Congratulations Mission Peak Village on this momentous milestone! Located on High Street in the Irvington district of Fremont, Mission Peak Village will be the first cohousing community in Southern Alameda County.


Founder Jane Mueller and Architect Brad Gunkel of Gunkel Architects made it look easy as the Commissioners loaded on the compliments about the design. But that came with a lot of work and preparation to get this this point. As the community moves toward the start of construction in 2024, contact them to find out more on how you can reserve your spot.

500 Communities Application Deadline: June 15th

Have you thought about getting more involved with cohousing professionally? We don't just mean forming a group and living in community, we mean within your line of work. Maybe you're a developer interested in sustainable community design. Maybe you're thinking about bringing cohousing into your real estate repertoire. Maybe you're pondering what it would be like to be a project manager for developing communities, or how you can help facilitate more communities in your area. Perhaps you are passionate about community and want to grow the market.


The 500 Communities Program is a 12-month course designed to train collaborators to meet the expanding need for professional support in creating new communities. The Program applies to many different job fields and was designed with all means of collaborative development in mind. Its intention is not to teach one model of cohousing, but build on lessons learned as we explore models of collaborative development that were not taught in university of trade school.

Hip Hip Hurray! Katie Has a New Hip

It’s truly a miracle of modern medicine, and hopefully will keep me hiking for a few more decades. As I was recovering on my couch at home, the U.S. Surgeon General and the Ezra Klein New York Times podcast both published pieces about the ever growing epidemic of loneliness in America and its impact on health.
