We share facilities, decision-making, responsibility, and work, and thereby know our neighbors. We are dedicated to diversity, acceptance, listening, and conflict resolution, and having fun. We make communication with and participation in the community a priority, while supporting a balance between community and private life.              June, 2008

We make decisions by consensus and all members participate in decision-making.  We have a do-it-ourselves approach to community upkeep, believing hands-on work together supports community-building and keeps costs down.

We learn and grow from the experience of living together,  committing to clear and open communication and resolution of conflict.  We engage in regular assessment of community well-being.

We are available as a resource for the larger community.

WE PROVIDE private dwelling units and furnished shared common space, following the principles of cohousing.  The varied sizes of our dwelling units promote diversity in family size and income. We self-manage the property in a financially conservative manner.

We preserve ample outdoor space maintained in an environmentally responsible manner.  We share certain durable household goods.  We create a safe environment for children, teens and adults.

WE EXPECT all who live here to value and support community.  This includes active participation by all households in governance, decision-making and community upkeep.  We all agree to abide by community decisions.              June  2008
