"Creating a new community way of living in Tulsa,

where neighbors become friends."

The large turnout proved just how ready Tulsans are for alternative housing options. The room was filled with people who have been following our journey from the start, and people who have just discovered the idea of cohousing. No matter their background, everyone was looking for a better way to grow older; a neighborhood that will provide the connections, resources and support to age in place and thrive.

Our designs offered people a glimpse into a new "good life." A community designed around the premise of maintaining independent homeownership while still surrounding yourself with a supportive community of people that care about one another.

The event even drew the attention of local news outlet, Tulsa World, who interviewed several Heartwood Commons community members. Below is one of our favorite quotes from the article:

Our local architect, Molly Jones of Jones Designs, spoke about her unique designs for our individual homes, shared spaces, and 2,800-square-foot common house which will include a gourmet kitchen, living and dining rooms, an art/craft studio, and two guest rooms.

Katie McCamant, our development consultant and cofounder of cohousing in the US traveled all the way from California to be at the event. She talked about her 30+ years founding, designing, developing, and living in cohousing communities, and the impactful work being done to bring the first cohousing community to Tulsa.

Kay Stewart, long time friend of Heartwood Commons, and founder of Oak Creek Cohousing in Still Water, OK, was also at the event showing her support. She was able to give insight into what living in a cohousing community is like;

"One of the best parts of living in cohousing is how much money you save. Your energy costs are reduced from the environmentally friendly designs, your food costs are reduced from participating in community meals, and other costs are reduced just by being part of a supportive community. For example, after having a medical procedure you do not need to check into rehab, you can come home to a community who will help you get back on your feet."
