Live Longer, Stay Younger
“We’re talking about rethinking, redefining one-third of adult life! The greatest achievement in the history of humankind — and all we can is that it’s going to make Medicare go broke? Why don’t we take that one-third and create new stories, new rituals, new mythologies for people as they age?”

Borrowing Strengthens Society
The amount of social capital being created and exchanged is a great barometer of a community’s health! Examples of items recently shared by neighbors at Phoenix Commons include: umbrellas, batteries, books, dogs, movies, kitchen gadgets, sweatshirts, rides, and yes, even the occasional cup of sugar!

#cohousing
Elixir For Aging
Supportive friendly neighbors right outside your door? Check.
Sharing of resources, knowledge, and responsibilities? Check.
All the community you want with all the privacy you need? Check.
For aging boomers who understand that personal independence can be maximized through social interdependence, senior cohousing communities are an extremely attractive option.
Spring Brunch 2019
Phoenix Commons celebrated Spring with a delicious potluck on our outdoor patio. As usual, the yummy food, the delightful company, the fresh flowers and the perfect weather provided for another exciting event.
Cohousing Does Not Equal Commune
Join us for a dinner or party in our common areas and you’ll quickly realize that cohousing is NOT just for hippies!
PS. But hippies are welcome here too — we are just a few miles away from Berkeley after all!
