Winslow Cohousing

Unique Opportunity for house share in established intentional community!
We are a pedestrian village with open green space and a central Common House, within walking distance of schools, the public library, medical clinics, shopping, parks, and a public pool.
We are located on 5 acres in the Winslow district of the City of Bainbridge Island, Washington, one mile from the ferry, which is a 35-minute boat ride from downtown Seattle. Bainbridge Island is a small-but-growing town with about 23,000 residents.
Our community has 30 homes:
10 townhouse duplexes with 2, 3, and 4-bedroom homes
A fourplex with 1 and 2 bedroom townhouse homes
The Carriage House with 6 flats of varied sizes
Homes range from 518 to 1500 square feet. Floor plans are similar throughout the village. The duplex and fourplex homes have exclusive use areas (backyards) behind them, with all kitchens facing the walkways, courtyards, and green areas where children can play and neighbors can visit or stroll.
An integral part of the cohousing concept is our centrally located 5,000 square foot community Common House. The Common House has dining and meeting space, a large kitchen, a recreation room for children, a fully equipped community office, a guest room, a quiet space, an exercise area, and a laundry for those who do not want laundry facilities in their homes.
We have a children’s playground, a large open lawn, a basketball area, a pottery studio, and a woodworking workshop. An orchard flourishes near the large, sunny community garden providing varieties of apples, pears, plums, and figs.
Like many intentional communities Winslow Cohousing has faced strife, difficulty, and loss in the face of the pandemic and it’s aftermath. We have been working as a community with Kitsap Dispute Resolution Center since July of 2023, and are focused on rebuilding our community together. As we reshape our organization and honor our values, we are hopeful for new community members to join us in our rebuild.
