Blue Ridge Cohousing
Charlottesville (Crozet), Virginia,
United States
 We are a group of families and singles committed to establishing multi-generational cohousing near Charlottesville, Virginia. We own a 6-acre property and will be developing 26 homes. We will begin construction soon, as we are already rezoned.
We represent a diversity of ages, backgrounds and experiences, including families with small children and retirees.
Several families have a wealth of experience in cohousing and intentional communities. Blue Ridge Cohousing is working with a nonprofit, green developer to make this a reality. We have 4 designated affordable units that will receive financial assistance.
