The Aria Cohousing Community is built on a commitment to one another and to the community beyond. Cohousing is a type of intentional, collaborative housing in which residents actively participate in the design and operation of their community. The Aria Cohousing Community includes a shared kitchen, community room, dining room, sunroom/library, laundry room, guest suite and outdoor spaces. The former Marycrest convent at the heart of the larger Aria Denver was redeveloped into a 28-unit inter-generational cohousing community. Eight of the 28 units are designated as affordable. We believe that living together, sharing meals, engaging in meaningful activities together, and helping each other with life’s burdens and joys is an important part of a life well lived.
As part of Aria Denver, we are a multigenerational group of individuals and families living together in community to support and enrich each others’ lives. We are committed to sharing talents, resources, and responsibilities, living in a healthy way, leaving a small footprint on the land, and having a positive impact on surrounding neighborhoods.
Members self-identify as willing cohousers and purchase a unit when available.
