Community Plans & Features

A Neighborhood Built People-First

Cohousing provides a unique opportunity - to be our own developers and to prioritize what community features are most important to include in our future neighborhood.

Range of Home Types
32 Private Homes with two, three and four bedroom options available. There will also be 8 one bedroom and studio rental units (carriage units) available.
Home Prices
We expect these homes to be comparable in cost to market rate homes in the area. The price includes generous common amenities and
​shared spaces.
Shared Amenities
Gardens and a 3700+ Square Foot Common House which will include:
  • Large Kitchen
  • Great Room with dining tables and a fireplace opening up to a spacious Lounging Area
  • Craft/Media Room and an All Purpose Room (classes, meditation, yoga space)
  • Kids and Teen Rooms
  • Outdoor Terrace with BBQ
  • Sauna and Hot Tub

Community Plans

We've gone through a series of Design Workshops led by architect Chuck Durrett of McCamant & Durrett Architects to ensure that these plans are optimally tailored to our needs as a community!

Site Design

Our cohousing neighborhood features six rows of privately owned condos and/or townhouses. Each row will face each other across a common green. Outside features will include pathways between homes with ample green space, garden areas, bike sheds, and a children's playground. The grounds and parking lot are common space as well, and the entire site is designed and oriented in such a way where spontaneous interactions are encouraged.

The Common House

The rows of homes are connected by the "hub" of our community: a 3,700+ square-foot Common House, which is a place where community dinners, meetings, parties, and other gatherings take place. Our Common House is designed to include:
  • A Large Kitchen for common meals
  • Great Room with dining tables and a fireplace opening up to a spacious Lounging Area
  • All Purpose Room (group classes, yoga, music, meditation, etc.)
  • Craft and Media Rooms
  • Laundry Room
  • Mailboxes
  • Reading Nook
  • Outdoor common terrace w/ BBQ
  • Kids Playroom and a Teen Room
  • Sauna / Hot Tub

Private Homes

​In cohousing, one receives the benefits of living a connected life, while maintaining a private sanctuary in your own home. The private homes in C Street Village will have open floor plans and are designed to be filled with natural light, quality sustainable materials, advanced sound-proofing techniques, passive cooling and heating, front porches, and more. The workshops led to the formulation of unit types which are a combination of flats (two and three bedroom), townhouses (three and four bedroom) and one bedroom and studio rental units (carriage units).
