Daybreak Cohousing is a multigenerational 30-unit development in the Overlook neighborhood of Portland, Oregon.
Daybreak’s homes are connected by an outside walkway that lets us interact easily. Daybreak’s campus is two-thirds of an acre centered around a fifty-year-old silver maple which serves as the community’s anchor.
Our complex consists of four multi-story buildings, three with residential units, and one large Common House with four residential units on top—all with maximum solar exposure. The condominium units are 1 to 3 bedrooms and range from 650 to 1,200 square feet. A circular lawn, gardens and children’s play area fills the central courtyard. Gardens and street trees on the east, south and west invite interaction with the neighborhood.
We develop warm connections by sharing meals, relaxing or celebrating events, participating in workdays and on teams, and making decisions together.
Multigenerational, Sustainable
The only way to become a member is by buying or renting one of our units. The responsibility to decide whether you are a good fit for Daybreak Cohousing is a personal one.
