Find your new home at Cascadia Commons Cohousing

At Cascadia Commons Cohousing, our intention is to get to know our neighbors, share resources, and enjoy social occasions.  We love celebrating birthdays and holidays, watching movies together, and sharing meals.  Cascadia Commons Cohousing is a multi-generational community with an emphasis on environmental stewardship.  The home’s current owner lived at Cascadia Commons for 15 years.

Group tours are given regularly on the third Saturday of each month at 11:30am.  Individual tours are given by request.  We encourage prospective residents to plan several visits (or virtual visits) to get to know us before purchasing.

About this townhome:

Location is everything and this home has it!  The front porch overlooks the central green space, including the playground and fruit trees.  Down the pathway is our Common House, with its communal library, dining space, guest rooms, and other amenities.  Further down, across our Creek Bridge, is our workshop.

Throughout the home itself, you will find eco-friendly features.  Flooring is marmoleum and bamboo.  Hot water is from an on-demand hot water heater.   Each of the three bedrooms and the living room has a separate heat pump, so you can enjoy privacy and comfort.

The first floor offers the living room, the open kitchen, a half-bath and a bedroom. The kitchen sports stainless steel appliances, including a new gas range, a Bosch built-in dishwasher, and a new refrigerator.  The kitchen window overlooks the front courtyard and playground.  The living room is spacious, opens into a quiet backyard and has a soundproofed shared wall.   The first-floor bedroom offers a full-wall built-in cabinet with bookshelves, sliding drawers, and a pull-out standing desk.  With its three windows, it is a perfect office space, bedroom, or meditation space.

Upstairs you will find two bedrooms, a full bath, a storage closet, and a stacked washer/dryer.  The front bedroom overlooks our lively courtyard, while the back bedroom is the perfect sanctuary, with a soundproofed shared wall and a serene view of the trees in the backyard.  The upstairs storage closet offers a floor-to-ceiling built-in with siding drawers. 

Because the unit’s LCE includes a large front porch as well as a backyard, you can relax and visit with neighbors on the front patio or have some private quiet time listening to the birds in the backyard. There is enough garden space for flowers and vegetables.  

 HOA dues $482/mo, Prop taxes $4620/year.
