Takoma Village Cohousing Condos For Sale
Takoma Village Cohousing is an eclectic grouping of townhouses and apartment-style condos in the Northeast section of Washington, DC, near the Maryland border. This is the only cohousing community in the District, with residential units clustered around a common piazza and green. Condos for sale in this development represent more than your typical opportunities for home ownership. Because this is also about an intriguing lifestyle choice.
Cohousing is a movement that first began in Denmark, and was introduced here in the U.S. through a book entitled “Cohousing: A Contemporary Approach to Housing Ourselves,” written by architects Kathryn McCamant & Charles Durrett in 1988. The idea is to create bubble communities with support structures—housing that goes beyond typical condominium organizations, in that there is a “common house” where residents can gather for shared meals and meetings, plus all sorts of group social activities, from barbeques to campouts.

Additional Information About Takoma Village Cohousing
The community itself is diverse in Takoma Village, from families to young professionals. And if the whole communal thing of helping neighbors and sharing optional meals seems a little like a throwback to hippie days, just look at it this way—is it any different from the growing popularity of “live, work and play” communities, or the principles of “new urbanism” in which green living and walkable neighborhoods can be formed in high-density regions?
Located at 6827 4th Street NW in Takoma, this intriguing community is just two blocks from the Takoma Metro Red Line Station, in the 20012 zip code. Takoma Village is also just a couple blocks from Eastern Avenue which serves as the borderline to Maryland. Directly on the other side of Eastern Avenue is the Takoma Park Historic District with all its fun shops and restaurants.
