Ellis Street Community House is seeking kind, present, and engaged new housemates with experience in community living. We are currently 3 adults and one baby living in a 6 bedroom, 3 bath house on ¼ acre of land near Powell Butte nature park and the Springwater Corridor bike trail. For us, living in community is a collaborative process, one that helps improve our quality of life. We’re able to eat great food, keep the place clean, maintain a garden, and hold a space large enough to host guests and events by working together. We have an extensive community library and art/craft material collection, as well as a great tea selection, stocked pantry, and functional kitchens ready for feast-making, canning, and fermentation dreams. We make kombucha, ginger beer, sauerkraut, bone broth, natto, and apple/pear butter on a rotating basis. With two fridges and two deep freezers we can save blueberries and blackberries we harvested from close by and get meat directly from farmers. We hold potlucks and other events like bonfires and game nights about once a month, and make a house dinner together weekly. We maintain a home free from artificial fragrances and voice-activated technology. The large downstairs room is available for $740 per month. It is next to the back door with zero steps to entry. We have another room upstairs that is available for $700 per month for one person or $800 for a parent and child. Guest space is available for friends and relatives of residents – upstairs there is an office/guest room for longer visits, and the couches/pads in the common areas are available for shorter stays. The home has heating and cooling through an efficient heat pump, and we just upgraded to a tankless water heater. Utilities usually run around $100 per month. We also share expenses for groceries and cleaning supplies, you’ll receive reimbursement for groceries if you go shopping often, or contribute typically $50-75 per month if you don’t go shopp

We have recently started a new intentional community called Makarioi within a house we purchased in a larger intentional community eco-village in Berlin, MA called Mosaic Commons. More info on the wider community can be found at https://mosaic-commons.org/. There is space for 4 individuals or small households to each have a private bedroom along with a shared kitchen, living room, and finished attic. There is also a large common house in the larger community. We are seeking to root this community in 4 shared values: Social Justice, Spirituality, Sustainability, and Healing. We expect to have openings in the community within the next few months. New housemates would have a 3-month trial period and then be offered a one-year lease if the community approves by consent. After that we’d explore possibilities for shared ownership of the house. If you are interested in exploring this opportunity to live in a new community planted within a larger established community please contact us for next steps.
