The Property
This is a charming nine unit complex with a layout that facilitates interaction, and room to create a common house in the future.
The Concept
Kingfisher is a rental Cohousing community. We have gradually converted it to Cohousing as units turned over. As of 2023, seven of the nine homes are occupied by Cohousers. The remaining two households in the complex are living their lives, and are welcome stay here for as long as they like. One of our members is moving to the country in the fall (see Available Homes). Our two buildings also have space to create a 1,000 square foot common house, with a kitchen and dining room for community meals. For now we have a shared workshop and laundry, and for meals we eat in our courtyard or in someone’s apartment. Hopefully the common house will be ready to use for the 2023-24 winter!
What is Cohousing?
Cohousing is a great way to build community and neighborhood, while maintaining independence. Every household has a complete apartment, and there are also shared spaces, including a common house with areas for common meals, workshop and guest room. You can be as private or as sociable as you wish. For more about Cohousing, see
