OVERVIEW
We are growing a largely age 50+ condominium community that seeks to be intentional and inclusive of and affirming to LGBTQIA+ people. The vision is to share friendship and support within an accessible, low-maintenance setting and never have to move again, supporting each other as we age.
What we are doing is not cohousing, nor is this community a formal entity. We were not in a position financially to take on the cost and risk of new development, nor did we have the desire to wait and plan for several years. For those reasons, we are simply encouraging community-minded people to purchase or rent condominiums within this condominium community whose units are offered to the general public.
THE HOUSING
Our condominiums are within a larger, new home community in Louisville, Colorado in Boulder County. The overall development includes single-family homes, duplexes, townhomes, and condominium flats. Condominiums are purchased directly from the builder or through re-sales, with several available for rent.
The housing is located within 3-story, accessible, elevator-served buildings with 12 two-bedroom/two-bath condominium flats of 1,133 square feet in each building. There are two slightly different unit layouts. Each residence has a private, detached garage with loft, though a few units have only carports. Condominiums are of high quality. Pricing is reflective of home values in eastern Boulder County.
The location is easily walkable to restaurants, grocery, retail, and banking. It is a 15- to 20-minute drive or express bus ride to the University of Colorado and downtown Boulder and a 5-minute drive/10-minute bike ride to an historic Old Town with numerous restaurants, coffee, and bookshops. There is excellent bus service to Denver International Airport, downtown Denver, and local stops. Bike and walking trails run adjacent to the site, and a small lake is a two-minute walk down the trail.
Our community enriches our lives through friendship, sharing, and support, sustaining us now and for the rest of our lives.
INTENTION/VISION
Our vision is a housing community that enables us to enrich our lives through friendship, cooperation, sharing, and mutual support. We choose to share our lives to build community that will sustain us both now and for the rest of our lives. This model encourages positive connections while honoring personal privacy. Through connection and cooperation, we are better able to meet economic, social, political, and health challenges with creativity and resilience.
Community Intention: Values
We seek more buyers and renters for whom this community vision is a good fit with their personal vision and who share these community values:
•Value and seek diversity in his/her/their friendships and housing community
•Have a desire to participate in community and share time and resources
•Honor individual differences and support the uniqueness and growth of each person
•Respect individual beliefs and encourage diverse traditions, celebrations and explorations of the spirit
Community Intentions: Actions
•Celebrate life together by having fun, laughing; eating and playing together
•Provide for and respect personal boundaries
•Share our time, skills and resources to save money and ease each other’s lives
•Give appreciation and encouragement to each other
•Take responsibility individually and communally for our actions
Community Intentions: Plan for Organization and Governance
We fall within the covenants and HOA that is part of the larger housing development. For our intentional community, we have no governing structure or additional covenants, rather, we operate informally. It is our hope that, in the future, we can dedicate some common space for live-in caregivers.
Buy a condo directly through periodic re-sales or new unit from builder. Rent through periodic rental openings typically posted on Zillow. Contact us to discuss, for more information, or to tour.
