What makes Nomad Cohousing unique?
Residents of Nomad Cohousing moved in during November of 1997. Since then, about 50% of the original community members still live at Nomad, showing the stability of our neighborhood. Our neighborhood offers a healthy combination of shared community activities and personal privacy. Community activities include optional shared meals twice a week, by-monthly business meetings, quarterly sharing meetings, and community workdays during the growing season from April through November. We maintain a well-organized list of shared tasks to maintain the physical buildings and shared common areas, plus rotating HOA responsibilities to keep our community working well.
Nomad Cohousing is a pedestrian-friendly neighborhood where cars are parked on the edge of the property. Residents walk from their car to their home making it easy for neighbors to connect. Eleven townhomes encircle a welcoming and attractive central green courtyard where kids play, and where we hold picnic dinners, parties, concerts and special events. We have a children’s play structure with swings and sandbox, and a community garden with abundant plots for every household.. Our shared 750-square foot Common House or club house is where we hold community meals and meetings. The structure is adjacent to the Nomad Playhouse, a local community theater where we can enjoy live theatre and concerts next door.
Why is our location great?
Our cohousing neighborhood is just two miles from downtown Boulder and the world-famous Pearl Street pedestrian mall. We are a two-minute walk to Hillside Shopping, the neighborhood shopping center with an independent grocery store, coffee shop, shipping store, bakery, laundromat, and several delicious restaurants serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Nomad is nestled in North Boulder and a five-minute walk to Wonderland Lake with jogging trail and recently renovated kid’s playground area, with easy access to Open Space hiking trails. We are a short walk to Broadway and the SKIP bus line, which can connect you via mass transit to Boulder’s many engaging attractions, including the University of Colorado Boulder campus, the flagship of the University of Colorado university system.
Nomad is also in walking and biking distance to multiple private and public schools. These include: Shining Mountain Waldorf School, Jarrow Montessori, Boulder Waldorf Kindergarten, Crestview Elementary, Centennial Middle School, and Tara Waldorf Performing Arts High School.
