28 Homes in a Multi-Generational, Beautiful Eco-Community.

Milagro Past and Present

Becoming a member of Milagro offers both significant benefits and real obligations. Cohousing communities are unique living environments that require considerable member participation. While Milagro has a minimum work requirement of six hours per month, many of our community members commit considerably more time to the management and maintenance of our community.

The benefits include new friendships, shared work and play, social events and shared celebrations, community dinners, a beautiful and peaceful living environment, walking paths through natural open space, and shared infrastructure–a common house, swimming pool, laundry room, workshop, and EV charging stations.

The obligations include actively participating in the physical and nonphysical work necessary to maintain our self-managed community, including monthly community workdays, general maintenance and repairs, landscaping, gardening, cleaning, community food preparation, leading tours, participating in community and committee meetings, coordinating community events, and digital work.

Common House & Grassy Circle

At the heart of the community sits the 3600 square foot Common House. Much of it consists of a spacious hall for meeting or eating. There is a library room with a fireplace — for reading, small gatherings or movies; a kids’ playroom; a large well-equipped kitchen; storage rooms, laundry room and drying yard.  The set-up in the common house allows us to hold family, community and larger neighborhood events throughout the year. 

Around the Common House is a paved area, grape arbor, grass circle, butterfly garden, outdoor chairs and tables, and our community swimming pool with shaded area.

Pool & Playgrounds

Our kid-friendly, solar heated pool is 40 x 16 feet and no deeper than 4 ft. It’s very popular in the summer months and we close it down for the coldest months to save energy.

A basketball hoop provides practice space for young and older hoop shooters.

A playhouse and swings provide play space for our youngest members.

Orchard & Community Gardens

The lush basins fronting our homes are designed to catch rainwater and prevent runoff. Our underground recycled wastewater irrigation system ensures enough water for the many plants and trees - both native and fruit-bearing - in those basins.

The main walkway between our two rows of houses is flanked by gardens maintained and enjoyed by the community as a whole. There are flowers, trees for shade and fruit, a central lawn and play structures for the kids.

Our community vegetable garden near the common house has three raised beds for growing organic vegetables. 

Workshop, Labyrinth and Environs

Our community workshop contains the tools, supplies, equipment, and workspace for community and individual homeowner projects. 

We also share a:

• Meditative Labyrinth

• Boundary Line Trail around the perimeter of our 43 acres

• Expansive, scenic views across the Camino de Oeste Wash and beyond to five mountain ranges surrounding Tucson!
