Capitol Hill Urban Cohousing

Capitol Hill Urban Cohousing Located on Seattle’s Capitol Hill we are 9 households with 16 adults & 5 children. Visit our website for more info: http://capitolhillurbancohousing.org

Our property is located at 1722 12th Avenue between Howell & Olive on the east side of the street. We removed the existing building and construction has began 11/14. We moved in 6/16. We are located one block east of Cal Anderson Park, a five minute walk from the future light rail station. We are planning for a long-term rental model. We were built with high Built-Green and LEED guidelines for achieving as many high-performance sustainability metrics for energy and water usage as is financially feasible both now and planning for future upgrades. There is a working, year-round Urban Farm. There is no onsite automobile parking. A few key decisions: we are a smoke and gun-free community, allow pets, plan to have inclusive shared meals a few times a week and we are child-friendly, providing childcare for workshops, etc. If you're new to CoHousing be sure to visit our resource page. To learn more about our community, please browse our site and meet some of our community members, read, our vision and values our plans and about our Capitol Hill neighborhood.

Seattle’s housing scene is defined by high prices and shrinking apartments, leaving many people feeling both financially squeezed and socially disconnected. Cohousing offers an alternative.

Great article featuring PDX cohousing communities.

When a wildfire and freak ice storm made me face my eco-anxiety head on, I set out to see if community-forward co-living might soothe it.
