About the Community

What we do

We are a group of 8-11 individuals (adults and kids) who make a commitment to co-housing in one big house for one year at a time; our membership can change each year, usually in June. The house is owned by a married couple who live as part of the co-op with their 2 children. We have adequate space for 11 long-term members maximum, which includes 3 two-three room suites for couples/small families, 1 “in-law quarters” apartment with private kitchen and private entrance, and 2 single bedrooms. We are not ADA accessible with two steps to the front door and no first floor bathroom. We share housing to create a space to practice self-directed growth and “mindful living” with the support and accountability of a small group. Through open dialogue and consensus-based agreements and practices, we try to understand and support one another’s vocations, reduce expenses by splitting costs, reduce resource usage, and offer one another positive social support. We seek to be a safe space for people of diverse orientation, perspective and background.
