The Durham Central Park Cohousing Community is a group of individuals, couples and families working to create an urban, green, intentional cooperative housing community in downtown Durham, North Carolina (USNews "Best Places to Live" in 2009).

We are located within easy walking distance of the Farmers' Market, the library, the YMCA, restaurants, stores, county senior center, parks, performing arts center, and theaters and we'll be only a couple of miles from Duke University campus and its famous Medical Center. We are building a multi-story building of 24 urban condominiums designed for aging-in-place ready for occupancy in 2013 with units of 850-1700 sq ft and with access to common dining room, kitchen, great room, meeting rooms, guest bedrooms, gardens, and rooftop patio.

All our units have been sold and construction now underway. Please contact us at www.durhamcoho.com if you'd like more information.
