Compass Cohousing Life in the Heart of Community

Get ready for Langley’s newest residential innovation: 40 cohousing condos and townhomes set for completion in early 2026.

Each property is a strata-titled unit, allowing you to apply for a conventional mortgage and benefit from any and all gains in the value of your property over time.

Plus you get all the benefits of life in the heart of community!

What is Cohousing?

Cohousing describes neighbourhoods that combine the autonomy of private dwellings with the advantages of shared resources and community living.

Residents own their individual homes (the legal structure is strata ownership), which are clustered around a common house with shared amenities. The common house typically includes a large kitchen (individual units have their own kitchen), dining room, childrens’ playroom, workshops, craft areas, music room, photography studio, lounge areas, roof-top patio and garden.

The Best of Both Worlds

Some people call cohousing neighbourhoods a return to the best of small-town communities. Others say they are like a traditional village or the close-knit neighbourhood where they grew up, while futurists call them an altogether new response to the social, economic and environmental challenges of the 21st century. Each holds a piece of the truth.

Cohousing residents participate in the planning, design, ongoing management and maintenance of their community. They meet frequently to address each of these processes. Cohousing neighbourhoods strive to combine environmentally sensitive design with a pedestrian orientation.

Cohousing History

Cohousing is a concept that emerged in Denmark in the 1960s.

The first cohousing community in Canada was Windsong Cohousing Community, built in Langley over twenty years ago. It remains a thriving community. Since that time, over 25 successful cohousing communities have be established in British Columbia and several others are in the planning and building stages.

The Canadian Cohousing Network offers you a comprehensive resource for cohousing research and communities across Canada.
