| Oakleigh Meadow Cohousing is an intergenerational community of independent households committed to finding purpose and a sense of belonging through working, learning and playing together in a neighborhood designed to make a small and beautiful footprint on the land.
We are currently a group of ten households who have come together to build a co-housing community. We include married couples with children, single parents, working singles, and retired folks. We believe that life is richer when we have people of all ages to support and share our lives with. We want to consciously create our lives in ways that foster ease and well-being. All are valued for our contributions to the community, nurtured by the companionship we offer each other, and enjoyed for being ourselves. Our shared values include the importance of neighbors and community (all ages welcome!), as well as learning to live with a light impact on the environment.
Oakleigh Meadow Cohousing will be built on 2.7 acres of land situated on the beautiful Willamette River in Eugene, Oregon. The city bike path system connects us to nearby parks and a regional shopping mall, including a movie complex. Restaurants and shops are within walking distance.
Eugene is a city of 156,000 located in the Willamette Valley, which sits east of the Pacific Ocean and west of the Cascade Mountains. Within two hours, you can travel to the coast, to glaciated peaks or to the high desert east of the Cascades. The city is known for its natural beauty, recreational activities (cycling, running, rafting, kayaking), focus on the arts, and activist political leanings. Eugene is home to the University of Oregon. Temperatures are mild year round, with warm, dry summers and mild, wet winters. Spring and fall are also moist seasons, with light rain falling for long periods. Winter snowfall does occur, but it is sporadic and rarely accumulates in large amounts.
Oakleigh Meadow is in the early stage of formation, so this is a great time to get involved. We are recruiting new members. You can have a voice in the site design, common house design, and individual unit floor plans, working with an architect selected by the group. We know that the decision to join a cohousing community is a major life decision, so we have a mentoring process to help you decide whether Oakleigh Meadow is a good fit for you and your family.
