Sonoma County Cohousing

Description:

We are looking for serious people who want to pull together a cohousing project in Sonoma County, California. This community will be green, environmentally aware, pesticide-free, and toxin-free, with organic gardens, play areas for children, and common space for activities. Our first meeting will be on April 29th at 1 p.m., in Petaluma. If you’d like to attend, you are welcome. Please contact us. In February 2007, we started to pull people together to see if there is an interest in this project. If a group of us work together, we can probably make it happen. My first choice is an area in or near Sebastopol, but I’m open to others: Petaluma, Cotati, Penngrove, Rohert Park, Occidental, Forestville, Graton, Healdsburg, Windsor, Santa Rosa, etc. Housing in Sonoma County is very expensive. While costs go down with a shared project, they are still higher than in most parts of the country. Be prepared for buy-in prices of $300-500 thousand (my best guess). We are looking for people who either have chemical sensitivity or are very environmentally aware and want to live as low-toxic as possible.
