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 February 2024, five of the nine homes are occupied by Cohousers and two are available for new community members (see Available Homes). The remaining two households in the complex are living their lives, and are welcome stay here for as long as they like. 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.
We are not organized around any ideology besides a desire to know our neighbors; in fact we have diverse political and social views that reflect the complicated world we are living in.
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
