Senior Cohousing CommunitiesCompleted Elderspirit Community
Construction is close to complete on Elderspirit, a 29 home community on 3.7 acres in Abingdon, Virginia. Residents will move in by Christmas 2005. The Elderspirit Community consists of 13 privately owned 1 and 2 bedroom homes, 16 income-restricted rental homes, a Common House, and a Spirit Center. Through the efforts of Project Manager, Dene Peterson, the group was able to attract substantial public money and grants to aid in the creation of a mixed income community. All homes are reserved at this time. In Development Silver Sage Village
Silver Sage Village is a 16-home community located on 1 acre adjacent to the Holiday Neighborhood, a larger mixed use neighborhood with an inter-generational cohousing community directly across the street. It will be the first Senior cohousing community in Colorado. The members have been meeting for quite some time and have established strong bonds that will serve them well in years to come. The community has many Green Built features including active solar hot water heating, passive solar heating, and wet-blown cellulose insulation. There are only 3 homes left at Silver Sage. Glacier Circle Community Glacier Circle is an 8 home community and will be located on less than an acre of land in a larger planned and mixed use neighborhood. The homes have energy-efficient design from passive solar to fluorescent lighting. They also have many universal design features in place. In the common house there will be an affordable second floor apartment which the community plans to offer to a couple in exchange for helping with cooking and maintenance of the community. The situation may be especially helpful in the future as residents age in place. Forming Arvada Proactive Adult Community Arvada, CO
