This sunny, 830 square foot, two-bedroom, one-bathroom upstairs flat has a bright, open floor plan with a view of the children’s play area and the Common House patio. The at the bottom of the stairs is an herb garden leading to the Common House. The inside has a whole-house fan, in-floor heat, and a natural light tube for the bathroom. You’ll enjoy sun all day long through energy-efficient, double-pane windows in three walls of the unit. The home also has two decks: one at the entry and one off of the kitchen. Rent for the term of the lease is $2,300 a month plus utilities. Details are at https://frogsong14.wordpress.com.

As with most cohousing communities, the outdoor areas at Frog Song are designed to be well-used. Your household won’t be confined to a tiny yard or patio. The site is designed with children and people in mind, not cars. It has gathering nodes, a vegetable garden, a large central patio, a small play field for kids (and adults), and a delightful “tot lot,” all within a lush landscape.

In addition to your own space, your household will have the use of our 3,000 square-foot Common House: as a place for kids to play—a godsend for parents on rainy days—and for sharing common meals, concerts, and parties. The building includes a kids’ play room, a large kitchen and dining room/dance and music hall, a small living room, laundry facilities (with a gray water system feeding the adjacent orchard), and a library/quiet meeting room.

Frog Song is located near parks, pools, and play areas, and is within easy biking distance to the local employee-owned market and local schools. More information about Frog Song is at http://www.cotaticohousing.org.
