Monterey Cohousing Community "Mococo"

We value diversity, and have varying incomes. We are an inter-generational community, and over the years have ranged from newborn to 80, including singles and couples, both with and without children. Our members are computer programmers, artists, teachers, therapists, caregivers, scientists and more. We follow diverse spiritual and secular paths. We help each other out in ways large and small. Exa

mples include sharing information and advice, lending and sharing skills and items of all kinds, and driving each other to the airport or to appointments. Community spaces in the Big House like the living room pictured at left are places both for official community meetings as well as casual or impromptu get-togethers. Our shared mail room with community bulletin board is a nexus of the community. Maintaining our 1924 building (part Common House, part residences) also gives us opportunities to work together. The community has an abundance of interior common space in the 1924 Edwardian mansion (the Big House), with new kitchen, 3-season porch with a gas fireplace, elevator, 3 wood-burning fireplaces in the living room, community dining room, library/media room, a workshop, a laundry room, a children’s playroom, and an office.
