Cohousing-L Mailing List: ratio of least to most expensive unit in cohousing?

[Kristi Barlow (kristi]

Hi all--

Here is Brooklyn we are struggling to establish our prices so we can  
do unit selection next week and bring in more much needed members. A  
tension has emerged between the needs of those seeking the smallest  
units (studios) and those families needing affordable 3BRs. Because of  
our constraints in renovating an existing building with fixed costs  
and square footage, affordability for one end of the spectrum directly  
impacts affordability at the other. My question for you today is this:  
what is that spread between least and most expensive units in your  
community? Our pricing task force's latest work has proposed unit  
prices where the largest units (1250 sf) are more than 3.5 times the  
price of the smallest (318 sf). I'm wondering how that pattern  
compares to other communities?

thank you in advance,
Kristi
