Bull City Commons is a diverse urban cohousing community guided by kindness, respect, and mutual support. Together we are creating an oasis of individual and community well-being. Our 5-story cohousing condominium community in central Durham, NC, is within walking distance of a vital shopping district, a university campus and hospital, and public transit. Our indoor spaces are designed to be open and airy, blending with our woods-and-gardens environment, with indoor and outdoor spaces that support privacy, group activities, and neighborhood interaction. At Bull City Commons, we can truly be ourselves in this diverse and welcoming mid-sized city full of history, culture, and charming neighborhoods.
Our community supports:
· Private homes as well as shared spaces
· Sharing resources, limiting each household’s need to own everything
· Caring for one another with kindness, ease, and intention rather than obligation
· Health and well-being, joy, playfulness, and relaxation
· Connection to each other, our neighborhood, and the larger community
