Announcement:

Bright, sunny 2 bedroom condominium flat available for rent in common house
of Jackson Place Cohousing for up to 2 years prior to sale. This is a great
opportunity to participate in Jackson Place Cohousing community life before
making a commitment to join.  I am seeking a prospective tenant who will
want to actively participate in community life. Unlike the typical anonymous
condominium, cohousing offers a unique opportunity to know your neighbors,
contribute to and enjoy cooperation for mutual benefit (borrowing common
tools and equipment, creating spontaneous events and activities, casual
conversation as you come and go).  A typical level of participation could
include:

·        attend monthly community meetings

·        participate in the meals program which are typically prepared 3-4
meals per week

·        join quarterly work parties

·        participate in an operational team’s monthly meeting (choice of
teams include:  kitchen, kids, finance, facilities operations or landscape)

There is room for new community members to define their own unique style of
participation and contribution. Landlord will be living and working remotely
in Portland, but readily available by phone, email and occasional visits for
support, questions, community process advice. Additional insights about life
in cohousing can be gleaned from our community’s website
(http://www.seattlecohousing.org/) and from the national cohousing site:
http://www.cohousing.org/

Rent $2,095 monthly includes:

·        2 bedrooms, 1 large 12’ x 14’ with large closet; 1 small 11’ x 13’
with 2 small closets

·        1 bathroom with tub, newly renovated

·        Galley kitchen with dishwasher, fridge, stove with oven

·        3 additional closets (1 large walk-in closet, utility closet and
pantry)

·        Comfortable living room
(note:  option for living room to be partly furnished with comfy couch,
dining room table with 4 barstool chairs and large screen television with
quality sound system & Blu-ray player)

·        1 interior parking space

Access to community amenities including:

·        Common House with large and small meeting spaces that can be
reserved for private events if no scheduling conflict on community calendar

·        Community laundry on site

·        Kids play room

·        Woodworking and dry crafts workshop

Water, lights and Internet utilities will be paid by owner.  Lower rent can
be negotiated if interior parking space is not required by tenant. Recommend
touring the community, meeting prospective neighbors, attending a community
meal or team meeting before signing lease.  A well-behaved dog would be
welcome, but cats need not apply (owner is allergic – thanks for
understanding).
