Residents of all ages share our urban cohousing community in Santa Rosa, California. Sonoma County is the heart of beautiful of wine country, not far from the Pacific coast and public parks of towering redwoods. Enjoy year-round hiking, biking, music, theaters, museums and more. It's an easy daytrip to San Francisco or Napa, too.

Yulupa Cohousing's 29 individually owned condominiums and townhomes surround a lush green courtyard. Our homes and commonly owned spaces are graced by bold, colorful, architect-designed buildings.

Owners and renters share the governance, management and maintenance of our shared spaces: the large Common House, workshop, guest and exercise rooms, outdoor children's playground, EV charging hookups, covered and uncovered parking and drought-tolerant landscaping. Solar panels generate electricity for shared spaces, and a well provides water for landscaping.

YCH Common Areas

​The Common House 

The large Common House provides a well-stocked community kitchen and dining room-multipurpose room for group meals, meetings and social events (resident art shows, ping pong and foosball are fun favorites).

There's also a shared laundry room, kids’ playroom, and a library-living room for small gatherings, such as book groups or movie nights.

​The Common House patio is a favorite place for events outdoors or hanging out.       
The Workshop
​
We have the DIY spirit! This separate building offers tools for hands-on projects, such as woodworking, bicycle repairs and more.
The Guest Room
Residents' friends and family can enjoy a comfortable place to stay for short visits.
The Exercise Room
Residents keep healthy using the treadmill, elliptical and rowing machines, recumbent bike, punching bag and weight equipment.
Landscaping, Individual Garden Spaces and Bike Storage
We share tools for work on our individual vegetable gardens and our beautiful community landscaping. Our shared green spaces include fruit trees and drought-tolerant and flowering plants that attract all kinds of pollinators. Our property is adjacent to a planned public Greenway that is likely to include bike lanes, playing fields and more. Trione-Annadel State Park, a mile away, has great walking and mountain biking trails. Bike owners can access locked storage rooms.
