Eno Commons is a vibrant, intergenerational cohousing community nestled along the Eno River, where neighbors of all ages come together to learn, share their unique skills and gifts, support one another, and build a life rooted in connection. With a strong emphasis on children and community, Eno Commons residents take turns cooking Sunday dinners—often featuring hearty vegetarian dishes with occasional meat options. Regular work days bring residents together to care for the grounds, maintain the common house, tend the organic community garden, and organize the shared tool barn and wood shop. Special activities for all ages are woven into the fabric of the community, including monthly events and cherished annual traditions like Secret Pals, EnoWeen, the Easter Egg Hunt, the No-Talent Show, Eno Commons Day, and Winter Solstice celebrations. Spontaneous dance parties, campouts in the meadow, tie-dye and other art-making, and campfires on the plaza create moments of joyful connection throughout the year. We value environmental stewardship, including sharing resources to reduce consumption and support one another, especially in times of need. Eno Commons is guided by a non-hierarchical, consensus-based model, valuing equity, inclusion, children, and the shared work of living well—together.
