Forming Formed: 2008
Cornell Village CoHousing
Windsor, California,
United States
(Sonoma County)
Current Site Plan
 A new cohousing community is forming in Windsor, California. Please join us in creating the first such community in the town of Windsor.
McCamant & Durrett Architects have been selected to design the community. The 5.2-acre site is conveniently located near shopping and transportation and is immediately adjacent to a neighborhood park.
Cornell Village CoHousing is a 33-unit development proposal that includes a 17-unit senior cohousing community and a 16-unit intergeneration community. Homes will be two-, three-, and four-bedroom townhomes, and each community will include a common house. These will be “green” communities and are being designed to adhere to principles and practices of sustainable development.
Winsor is a wonderful community in which to raise a family, retire, or just enjoy the beauty of the wine country.
