We are a very diverse community in an incredibly dense neighborhood in Seattle – Capitol Hill. We have all of our 9 households with children between ages 5 and 19 years old and our adults range from mid-30’s to mid-70’s. We have 9 units on 4500sf lot (smaller than the typical Seattle single family lot). Our property is located 3 blocks from light rail and has great bus access. We built with high Built-Green and LEED guidelines achieving as many high-performance sustainability metrics for energy and water usage as much as was financially feasible both now and planning for future upgrades. We broke ground in late October, 2014 and took occupancy in June, 2016. Please note we are a unique hybrid model. All members paid a minimal joining fee of $30,000 to join our LLC. The members built the apartment building and we are self-managed. We pay market rate rents which will be kept artificially as stable as possible, rather than increasing with the market. This is intended to entice longevity. In 2024 we had our first household turn-over since move in. It’s unlikely we’ll have any openings but to be notified please join our mailing list on our website. That is where any short-term rentals or long-term residencies would be announced.
We are an urban community bridging generations, aiming to be good neighbors on Capitol Hill. We value sharing and seek health, both for ourselves and our planet. Our Values include: * Sharing * Environmental Awareness * Intergenerational * Neighborhood Partnership * Healthy Individuals * Healthy Community
We use a self-selecting process to see if our community is a good fit for you and vice versa. You would start by completing an online questionnaire to help us to get to know you. We’ll create an opportunity for you to tour and ask questions. After that we’ll invite you to attend some community meals and conversations to get to know us better. Once you’re sure and we’re sure, we’ll ask you to provide 3 references and to complete an application for a background check. Then you’ll sign the Operating Agreement and pay your Initial Capital Contribution. Eventually, we mutually agree on a move-in timeline & you sign your lease.
Everyone must agree before moving forward.
