Community Matchmaking: Get Help Finding Your Community

The Wise Acres Community is a cohousing neighborhood in Indianola, Washington. We currently have two openings: a 5-bedroom house and a 1-bedroom cottage.  In Wise Acres, we gather for dinners, parties, and other events in our common house and tend a community garden together. We look out for each other, make decisions by consensus, and share the work of stewarding the land. One house available for rent has 4 bedrooms, plus a study that can be used as a bedroom. The kitchen and great room face east and south, with high windows that invite lots of natural light. The single-story home has a wood-burning stove in the living room and a whole-house A/C heat pump. Unfurnished. For photos and a floor plan of this house, click here. The other home available for rent is a 1 bedroom 650 sq ft cottage with skylight and a forest balcony. The tranquil, three-story house is suitable for those with good physical mobility.  For photos, click here. Wise Acres is walking distance from the beach in a small, friendly town that is 6 miles from the ferry to Seattle. Here’s a link to the Wise Acres community website.  We are seeking to rent to a household that wants to participate fully in community life. For more information, call or text 360 860 0644.

Hi, I am the architect of the Meadow Woods Cohousing Community in Bremerton, WA.   I love the way this community has flourished over the years, maybe in some small part due to the sensitive design of the homes and common house.    If you need to discuss some of the issues related to land use and architectural design, please give me a no-obligation, no-cost, call to discuss your project.  I use a 3D cad program so your members can quickly and easily see the results of our collaborative design efforts. I offer a 20% discount to cohousing communities.  My contact information: Website: www.NWArchitect.org,   Email:  Pa************@***il.com,   Phone:: 360-525-3843

We are a financially self-supporting, homeschooling family of five with three children and a small dog, seeking a family-friendly intentional or tiny-home community in the Southern United States, particularly Florida, Tennessee, or Texas. We’re looking for a place to establish long-term roots, with private family housing, shared gardens, sustainable food production, and opportunities for meaningful community participation. We’re open to renting a family-sized home, leasing a lot for our own tiny home, purchasing property, or joining other families and landowners to co-create a regenerative community. Our ideal community values independence, collaboration, experiential learning, and purposeful living. We welcome connections with established communities, developing projects, landowners, and like-minded families. Our family prospectus is available upon request. We look forward to hearing from you!
