Our site is in an area of numerous exciting changes, and we've recently closed on our purchase for the site of our future cohousing community. |

|
The future home of our community is a 0.59-acre property located on a quiet street in the Washington Neighborhood of West Sacramento.
This site is just 2 blocks from Raley Field and the Tower Bridge, and a little further to the Crocker Art Museum. It’s an urban location, yet close to nature and trails too. Just one block from the Sacramento River with its bike and pedestrian paths on both sides. Now is the time to join! Contact us today to learn how you can be part of creating this community. |

Local food focus
Sacramento is considered America's Farm-to-Fork capitol. No major city in America is more centrally located amid such a vast range of high-quality farms, ranches and vineyards.
The Center for Land Based Learning has created several small, urban markets not far from our site. On Sunday's there's a market underneath the bridge at 8th and W Streets. "The Barn," a beautiful outdoor music venue, will soon be host of a seasonal, thriving farmer's market. There's also an Urban Farm Stand that sells produce at the corner of 5th & C on Tuesdays from 3:30-6:30 pm. |
About the Community
We anticipate an architectural design similar to PDX Commons Cohousing in Portland, OR; 3-4 stories of apartment condominiums in a courtyard design, including common facilities and parking.
We're building a core group of financially committed members that will be ready to direct and oversee our development project as we move forward to the exciting design and development stage of this community. We're seeking adventurous members (individuals & couples) to join us!
