About the Community

  • Established

What we do

Common Place is a cooperative and an intentional community. We covenant to live together in mutual respect, supporting each other through life’s challenges and celebrating life’s gifts. We are committed to issues of peace, equality, social and environmental justice. At the moment, we are an older community, aging in place since 1973. As apartments open up, we anticipate that the profile of our community will begin to change. We will welcome new members of all ages who share our commitments for living together.

Our Vision

We come to this community as individuals with our own aspirations, values, and experiences. At the same time we recognize that the art of successful life in a cooperative community is dependent upon building healthy capacities for compromise. We seek to live in community, learning from each other, respecting our differences and resolving the inevitable conflicts that will arise from these differences. Kindness, compassion, and respect are the foundation for our interactions. We are committed to engaging in honest, direct, and respectful communication with each other.
