Welcoming new members! Join us in creating an urban cohousing community in the city of West Sacramento — voted the “Most Livable City in America, under 100,000 population” by the US Council of Mayors.
We have our permit and are under construction! We are building an energy efficient, 4-story, 35-condo cohousing project with an expected December 2023 move-in. A few one, two, and two-plus bedroom, fully equipped condos are still available to reserve. Floor plans available following site and Zoom information tours. Our design includes on-site parking, a native-plant garden, a bike/dog-washing area, and a spacious second level terrace. Residents share 5,800 sq ft of interior community space, including a large dining room with kitchen, guest rooms, craft and exercise rooms, coffee/wine nooks, and more.
Our property is part of a bikeable, walkable historic residential neighborhood two blocks from the Sacramento River (where one can birdwatch, boat, or explore the Riverwalk). We’re just minutes from Old Sacramento, the Golden 1 Center NBA arena, River Cats AAA baseball, museums, restaurants, pubs, shopping, Sacramento Amtrak (11 trains daily to the Bay Area), and 20 minutes from the Sacramento International Airport.

A few people (not elected by the broader community) make the major decisions.
Generally seek agreement, but have backup methods when consensus isn’t reached.
Power and responsibility are shared relatively equally among members.
We are committed to being a collaborative, consensus building community.
