Meet Our Members

Who We Are

Bull City Commons Cohousing members are fun-loving, compassionate and kind people who are actively creating

our cohousing community in Durham, North Carolina. Read our bios below and get to know us!

Brigitte

Brigitte has been following the cohousing movement since its inception and thinks of it as “the lifestyle of the future."

Candace

The idea of living in a setting where there is ample opportunity for growth, for expanding my ways of thinking, and for new friendships is what attracted me to cohousing.

Christine

One of the things I love about BCC is that so many other community members share my interests, and I can’t wait to jam with Jim on the screen porch, cook with Jo in the common kitchen, and create beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces with the whole community.

Cornelia

I enjoy hiking, swimming, yoga, biking, engaging in craft projects, sharing a cup of tea, and enjoying and admiring the creativity of others.

Kate N.

I’m a New Englander by birth and at heart. I’ve lived and worked in Boston, San Francisco, Portland, ME and Raleigh. Upon retirement from the NC Department of Public Instruction, I moved to Durham.

Kate Y.

Bull City Commons is just what I was looking for – a community committed to sharing resources, mutual responsibility/care for each other and living green - at a price I can afford.

Lauree

I've managed to garden in about 18 of the places I had lived --- and now look forward to exploring what fruits and vegetables we will nurture and be nurtured by in our shared, still-being-created new home.

Lise

I enjoy reading, writing, watching movies, biking, cooking, re-learning how to edit video on computers, and spending as much time as possible with friends and my extended family and am thrilled to join the Bull City Commons!

Liz

I'm passionate about music, especially group singing, and traveling to places unseen. It has been invigorating to spend time and purpose with this smart group of people dedicated to intentional community.

Maria

For fun I enjoy singing, camping, reading, road trips and going to movies. I love Durham, coffee, going to the pool, and my cohousing buddies, not necessarily in that order.

Mike

What has energized us about BCC is the opportunity to create something solid and lasting with people engaged in a big endeavor that stretches everyone's capabilities.

Omega

I love book arts & the craft of typography, art museums, birding & walking in the woods, and blues music.

After seeing much of the world, I am ready to find my own tribe at Bull City Commons, where members value cooperation & social connections.
