Song of the Morning

At Emerson Commons, we have designed a pedestrian-oriented neighborhood where we cross paths with each other often. We can easily take the time to stop and chat. A beautiful club house allows us to have potlucks and neighborhood events together. Neighbors co-manage the community and meet each other that way. A beautiful pool, walking trails by a creek, and multiple playgrounds give us further excuses to connect with our neighbors. There is currently a thriving multigenerational community with 19 out of the 26 homes complete. New Construction Home for Sale: 843 Stargazer Lane ($462K) 4BR, 3BA, 2417 sq. ft.

Aptos Beloved Community is an emerging multicultural ecovillage in the early stages of formation. Our guiding mission is to co-create a flourishing world for all as a friendly living laboratory in Earth Reverence, Personal Responsibility, Cultural Healing, Creative Expression, and Revolutionary Love. Currently there are 12 adults, two awesomely autistic young adults, three sweet dogs, and 20 laying hens enjoying 7 acres of land together. We range in age from 25-75 and bring our share of diversity: straight, queer and asexual; cis gendered, transgender, non-binary and gender fluid; European American, Mexican American, Korean and Korean American; born into families with and without money. Among us are entrepreneurs, trauma healing counselors, immigrants, activists, students of Chinese medicine and psychology, contractors, poets, writers, avid hikers and backpackers, dance and yoga teachers, caregivers, nonprofit fundraisers, and gardening enthusiasts. We are monogamous and polyamorous, neurotypical and neurodivergent, vegan and omnivorous. We practice diverse spiritual and religious traditions. We share the land with many wild creatures – coyote, deer, owls, hawks – and are surrounded by oaks and redwoods. We’re located just off Soquel Drive by Cabrillo College, minutes from New Brighton State Beach and the Forest of Nisene Marks in Santa Cruz County. What We’re Building We have an outdoor classroom for small-scale events, several permaculture-based food forest orchards and gardens, an infrared sauna, cold plunge, hot tub, and outdoor bathtub overlooking our beautiful meadow. We’re actively working on rainwater catchment systems, humanure composting, water retention landscaping, oak woodland restoration, greywater systems, and dreaming of a cob sauna. Stewarding our ecovillage from vision to reality is a primary focus here. We’re looking for folks who are excited about this in theory AND in real-life practice. Experience and ski

Why settle for a cookie-cutter condo when we could co-own a coastal masterpiece? I’m a 49-year-old remote professional (15 years with the same employer) currently living on the Florida coast and dreaming of something bigger. I’m looking for fellow vegans to pool our “strength in numbers” to secure a breathtaking, non-traditional home—think Old Florida charm, high ceilings, and privacy—rather than the uninspiring options in the sub-400k range. If you are a financially secure, credit-conscious, and ambitious vegan looking to start a new chapter in a co-owned coastal refuge, let’s talk. I’m prepared to hire a real estate attorney to draft a Co-Ownership Agreement. I value stability, kindness, and clear communication. Also, I have 3 cats. Let’s make 2026 the year we move into the house we actually want.
