Kawartha Commons Cohousing is creating a sustainable community at 736 Maryland Avenue in Peterborough, Ontario. We plan to build our unique neighbourhood within the next three years, where approximately 40 families will live in private apartments clustered around a shared space that encourages spontaneity, connection, and mutual support.
Our community believes in living lightly on this Earth while embracing an active urban life. We all look out for each other in our diverse community, but we don’t compromise our privacy. You can find out more about our values here. In a nutshell, Kawartha Commons is all about sharing, connection, and fun.
If that sounds like you, why not join us?
If you want a little more background on what we’re all about and how our community is coming together, you can read this feature that ran in the Toronto Star recently or some of the other coverage that Kawartha Commons has gotten in the media lately on our news page. Star reporter Diana Zlomislic put it well when she described KCC’s plan as:
“a living and real estate arrangement that allows residents to have their own home while being surrounded by neighbours who know their names and are willing to share a glass of wine or a story in the garden after dinner.”
