PLANS

High-quality new homes ranging in size from 800 to 2,700 square feet. Solar standard on every house.

As of June 2018, we have one unit left out of 26. (Now that we've broken ground, the remaining house will go fast.)

EVENTS

We hold meetings, potlucks and team-cooked common meals every month.

Come meet the members of our  multigenerational community.
