Takoma Village Cohousing is in Northwest Washington DC in the Takoma Park Historic District. We are two blocks from the Takoma Metro Station on the red line, almost to the boundary with Maryland. Takoma Park was originally one town built around the Takoma Springs.
Typical of most cohousing communities we are an eclectic community of 60 adults from several cultural backgrounds and many fields of interest, and 22 children, aged 6 months to 90 years. Five dogs and many cats. Birds and squirrels. Bicycles and soccer balls. Lots of trains next door: Metro, commuter, and freight.
Our Mission Statement
Takoma Village is an urban community that fosters mutual support and cooperation while respecting privacy. We welcome diversity, encourage ecologically responsible living, and value active participation in the larger world.
