Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: cohousing homes under $300K

[Lynn Nadeau / Maraiah (welcome]

RoseWind Cohousing in Port Townsend Washington is a long-built  
community of single-family homes which vary considerably in size and  
simplicity. We are about to list a small home, for $258,000. Details  
will soon be on our www.rosewind.org site, or contact me directly. The  
key to the pricing on this one is its size: 836 heated sq ft, plus  
attached garage, plus south deck. The lot is small (3500 sf) but  
adjacent to commons so it seems to have more yard than the lot itself.  
1-2 BR, 1 bath.

We also have two homes that were built by Habitat. Short version: we  
donated the land, negotiated conditions of choosing famiies, and got  
two nice little homes with young families. Years later, one of those  
families moved away, sold back to Habitat, who placed yet another fine  
young family there.

We also have some big fancy homes. All share the same level of  
community and common amenities, making the small homes a particularly  
good deal.
