Linden Cohousing is an inter-generational intentional community of 45 one-to-three bedroom units in an urban neighborhood on the east side of Madison, Wisconsin.  We welcome people of all racial and economic backgrounds, all cognitive and physical abilities, and any sexual orientation and gender identity.

We are dedicated to creating a diverse, caring community through sharing material resources, common meals, celebrating life events, and working and playing together.
