Living in Community Since 1993
DayStar is an intentional cohousing community in the heart of midtown Tallahassee, just two miles from the state capitol. Started by four families, it has grown to 13 homes with close connections to the wider neighborhood. Eight families, known as DayStar, own their home and homesite, with adjoining land owned and maintained in common. Homes are clustered together and we share a vegetable garden area; fire pit; tools; parking area, yard chores; and an inviting open grassy commons. Front porches welcome us home each day and allow us to gently connect with neighbors.
Across the street, another five homes, DayStar II, have historical roots and ongoing community connections to DayStar. These neighbors frequently join us for weekly happy hours and monthly potlucks and as we celebrate the summer solstice with an annual progressive dinner.
