Shangrileeds  –  Helping Build Cohousing in Leeds

What is Cohousing?

In a cohousing development each household has its own home while there also spaces and facilities shared with the other households, e.g. a common house containing shared kitchen, dining room, laundry etc., and often bike sheds, workshop, gardens.

A cohousing development is created and managed by its residents.

See Cohousing Explained for a brief video explanation of cohousing.

NEWS

We are currently looking for a site on which to build our cohousing community.  Ideally it would within the urban area of Leeds, around an acre in area and have good public transport links.
