Open Village on October 24, 2015

Manzanita Village will be hosting an Open Village on Saturday, October 24, from 10am until 2pm where the public is invited to take a self-guided tour. Villagers will be available at points of interest around the neighborhood to answer questions about living in community.

Points of interest include our community hiking trails, common garden, chicken coop, and extensive water harvesting infrastructure.

If you’re curious and want to see what we’re all about, learn about the work we’re doing, and maybe interested in becoming a Villager yourself, we invite you to come see us during this Open Village event.

Jeff Zucker elected president of Coho-US Board

Our founder, and still living with us in community, has been elected to be the next president of the Board of the Cohousing Association of the United States. Congratulations, Jeff!

A Tour of the Village

A local realtor has put together an interactive slideshow tour of our Common House and common areas. Enjoy!

The Housing Market

A recent article in our local paper highlighted the increasing numbers of home sales and higher selling prices. If you’ve been considering a move to cohousing but the real estate market in your area was so bad that you have had to postpone your plans, you might want to take another look.

Currently, we still have a number of homes available for sale, an inventory that built up during the real estate recession. Prices for these homes haven’t been raised yet, but that’s bound to change. We’ve already sold 2 homes this year to new Villagers, and we’d like to welcome more folks into our community.

So take a look at what we have to offer and let us know if you have any questions.
