We are a thoughtful, community-minded household committed to sustainable living, open communication, and genuine connection. We operate on a collaborative model of shared expenses and responsibilities, and we're looking for residents who are excited to actively contribute to this intentional community.
Vegetarian & Mindful Living
We are a vegetarian household, and a core part of our intentional, sustainable living approach is our no-meat policy in the house.
- We maintain a shared vegetarian food plan, which helps reduce costs and fosters community.
- Whether you're vegetarian, vegan, or just exploring, a respect for plant-based eating is essential to living here.
Genuine Community & Connection
We prioritize building real connections and a harmonious, kind atmosphere. Regular hangouts, shared meals, and genuine friendships are at the heart of our home.
- Welcoming Guests: We welcome friends and love hosting small gatherings. We just ask for open communication about events and respect for our shared spaces and neighbors.
Open Communication
We value clear, kind, and proactive communication.
- Assume Good Faith: We engage in honest dialogue with the intention of finding solutions, assuming that everyone is doing their best.
- Self-Advocacy: We encourage everyone to express their needs clearly and listen respectfully. We also support maintaining personal boundaries, so it's okay to say "no" to reasonable requests.
- Be curious: We recognize that people have different communication styles. We encourage asking clarifying questions to bridge this gap.
- Timely Feedback: Please share concerns respectfully and promptly, before they have a chance to escalate.
Shared Responsibility and Spaces
We all contribute to keeping our home welcoming, functional, and strong. This includes sharing resources, expenses, and household tasks.
- Cleanliness: Keep common areas clean, clutter-free, and accessible. This means tidying up after yourself promptly and not storing personal items in common spaces overnight.
- Use of Common Space: Our common spaces are primarily for socializing. Co-working is welcome, but we ask that you:
- Preference taking private calls in your personal space.
- Avoid permanent screens in common areas.
- Remember that socializing generally takes precedence.
