What is the balance between privacy and community involvement?

We all have our private homes and we can be as private in cohousing as in any other setting. It is entirely up to the individual to decide what balance works for them.

In practice, because we have joined a cohousing group, we are generally fairly sociable and enjoy getting together and doing things together. This is not every day and not to the exclusion of outside activities.

Community involvement includes whole community and smaller group meetings meetings as well as a wide range of social activities, including shared meals.

We have no rules or regulations that require anyone to join in with activities.
