Village Hearth

Info

Village Hearth Co-housing is an LGBTQ+ focused 55+ co-housing community located in progressive and culturally vibrant Durham, North Carolina (USA). The community opened in 2020, with 28 colourful cottage-style homes on a 15 acre wooded property, 20 minutes from downtown restaurants and theatre.

Our members are committed to neighbourly mutual support and bring a wide variety of skills and interests to share. We are LGBTQ and straight, coupled and single, still working and retired. Our unique focus means we attract members from all across North America. We enjoy eating the food grown in our community garden; hiking, bicycling and kayaking at the many nearby natural areas; yoga, meditation and exercise classes in our common house; holding social justice workshops and concerts in the great room; celebrating holidays and special occasions (big and small) together; and enjoying each other’s company on our spacious front porches and in the Common House.
