Oak Park Commons is Illinois’ first cohousing community. Visit oakparkcommon.com to learn about our members, our vision of cohousing, our new building, currently under construction, and what units are still available.

Ever dreamed of planning & cultivating your own rooftop garden? How about with a dozen of your friends, who are also your neighbors? Our building's top floor offers this and more - outside seating, a children's playroom, a community kitchen and dining area, and a lounge with fireplace. Perfection!
