Overview

Trillium Hollow is our Cohousing Community located about one mile north of Beaverton (a suburb of Portland, Oregon) close to the Cedar Mill area. It's like a small village where everyone knows each other, but without any stores. It's a neighborhood in which we all have our own places, but we share things like lawn mowers, garden space, and a tools shop. It is an intentional community that has people of all ages who also share the responsibility together for maintaining our 4-acre neighborhood — fellow residents you know better than neighbors, but aren't quite relatives. We are a fixed size community that has a focus on friendships and respect.

The physical community layout was designed so we have space to hold group gatherings, quaint walkways and our own individual homes. We enjoy the benefits of getting together to share activities such as gardening, music and parties, but still being able to get away from each other or just hang out with immediate family.

The cohousing.org website is a wonderful resource for those new to the idea of cohousing. They also run an excellent listserv.
