C Street Village: Cohousing for Families in Marin

C Street Village is an intergenerational community committed to sustainability, supporting one another and slowing down to appreciate what we are creating together. The goal is to create a vibrant, intergenerational community in Novato where we know our neighbors well and live more sustainably. Cohousing provides a unique opportunity to prioritize what community features are most important to include in our future neighborhood. 

Benefits for Children

~ Children can walk out the door and play: friends are close by and play spaces are visible from homes, like the good ol’ days!

~ Play in the physical world, in person with other children

~ Social learning

~ All the adults in the community are known and trusted

~ Shared experiences with mixed age groups and different generations together

Benefits for Parents

~ No more need to administer your child’s social life!

~ Optional community dinners almost every night. No need to plan and cook meals for just your family unless you want to.

~ No streets and cars zooming by! Even young children can just walk out the door and play.

~ Model a lifestyle of being part of community

~ Friends are all around you; no need to carve out time for socializing—it’s all right here!

~ Perfect balance between privacy and village life. Each household has a private home, but many resources are shared, both formally and informally.
