PLANS

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

As of May 2018, we have two units left out of 26. (Now that we've broken ground, the remaining houses will go fast.)

EVENTS

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

Come meet the members of our  multigenerational community.
