Update for Colorado Springs (Colorado) Cohousing
Community at Casa Verde Commons. (which has 10 openings)
(Second half of message is promo for location...) 

Construction on our community began earlier this year and our
Craftsmen-style Common House was the first to be completed. We
will be dedicating our Common House later this month (October
20) from 4:00 to 6:00 pm for the public and having a private
ceremony from 3:00 to 4:00pm. We would not be where we are now
if not for our co-developers, Wonderland Hill Development
Company of Boulder, Colorado.

We are building 26 Victorian-style duplexes and 8 Four-square
homes designed by Matt Worswick who lives in Harmony Village in
Golden, Colorado (which he also designed). Our first community
members will be able to move into their homes in mid-November
while construction continues on the remaining homes scheduled
for completion in early February next year.

Our community fills 4 acres in an older neighborhood a mile and
a half north of a vibrant downtown Colorado Springs; close to
excellent public schools, Colorado College, Fine Arts Center,
public golf course, public parks and biking/walking trails, and
shopping. It's also convenient to two public bus lines. The
neighborhood maintains high property value with a lot of
retro-upgrading going on. Pikes Peak and Pikes Peak National
Forest are less than 10 miles to the west.

Our hydronic-heated Common House has pride of place in our
community with two guest rooms, multi-purpose room, office,
sitting room, kids' playroom, two-story high dining room and
fully equipped kitchen. Our homes will be Green-Built, and have
five-star Energy-Star ratings and solar access rough-ins.Our
community has space for a community vegetable garden, children's
playground, workshop, and common lawn.

We have 10 homes unsold at this time. Two or three bedrooms in
three floor plans, ranging from1,650 to 2,467 square feet
including full basements with large windows and 9-foot ceilings.

Colorado Springs Cohousing Community invites you...

Colorado Springs (a city of around half a million friendly
folks) is located 60 miles south of Denver, Colorado, on the
plains adjacent to the foothills of the Rocky Mountains -- where
the plains sweep for hundreds of miles across Kansas and eastern
Colorado only to bump up against the Rocky Mountains. Outdoor
recreation is right out the door with bike paths and trails.
Skiing, kayaking, rock climbing, hiking, backpacking,
fly-fishing, horse-riding. Garden of the Gods, Pkes Peak, Royal
Gorge, Breckenridge, South Park, Mesa Verde.

Our climate is high-desert (bugs are few and far between) --
we're at 6, 000 feet elevation -- with summer temperatures
seldom exceeding 95 degrees F at the high end. and winter
temperatures seldom exceeding 10 degrees F at the low end.
Snowfall can be anything from a dusting to 3 feet from a single
storm, but the snow melts quickly in the winter sunshine. And
the sun shines 360 days of the year here.

A beautiful place with beautiful people. Come visit and you'll
fall in love with our state, our city, maybe our cohousing
community which is looking for members to complete our
community!
