Ravens’ Roost is Anchorage’s first and only Cohousing neighborhood. It has a total of 35 homes. There are 32 owner occupied homes and 3 rental units owned by members of the community. Ravens’ Roost is set on 6 acres of land with large sections of native birch and spruce.
Uniques features of Ravens’ Roost include:
1. A large common house with kitchen, dining room, library, kids room, laundry room and 2 guest rooms.
2. A large workshop equipped with multiple building and wood-working tools, ski and bicycle maintenance areas, sewing/craft area, and exercise equipment.
3. Outside of the Common House are raised garden beds for personal use and community dinners. We have a kids fort & swings, a hoop house for extending the growing season and an orchard with apple and cherry trees planted in 2022. We also have a resident beekeeper.
4. The site is conveniently located in southeast Anchorage with easy access to arterial roads, yet still nestled in the foothills of the Chugach Mountain Range. We are close to shopping, restaurants, 2 Universities (UAA and APU), 3 hospitals, and lots of trails for mountain biking, hiking, walking, skiing (cross country and downhill) and snow boarding. A paved bike path connects to many other paved bike paths, making making Ravens’ Roost bike friendly and accessible to many parts of Anchorage by bike.
5. Ravens’ Roost is located within a two mile radius of a High School, three elementary schools and a Jr. High School. We have private and charter schools near by as well.
6. We are located across the road from Ruth Arcand Park with many paths for daily forest walks and xcross country skiing.
We currently have 35 households, many from Anchorage but others from Fairbanks, AK, the east coast, California and the Southwest.
