We have an opening in our community and would love to have you as a new neighbor. Our community is oriented around care for each other, our broader community, and the earth, and our physical space centers our abundant garden and open green space. Our townhome condos are built sustainably, equipped with solar power, andContinue reading “Cohousing home available! 4797 NE Going St”

Some very scary Cully Grove kids & parents hit the streets for Halloween.  And for all who visited, we cooked up and handed out fresh beignets (New Orleans Square Donuts).

What do you get when you toss together Shajahan’s amazing cooking & tunes, a wonderful group of people, and some rocking music speakers in the common house?  A scrumptious Indian food dinner and Bollywood dance party!  We filled up the first floor pretty well, and also had kids/parents playing and eating upstairs in the largerContinue reading “Bollywood Feast (and dance party)”

Cully Grove gardeners are amazing!  Less than a year from when folks started moving in, what used to be dirt and topsoil has been totally transformed.  Here are a couple recent photos.

Last night we had a nice dessert gathering of Cully Grove residents and neighbors from Going St., Alberta St. and NE 94th.  LOTS of ice cream was consumed, thanks in large part to the under-6 crowd.

We’ve had rain, mud, frozen ground… and for today: a little bit of snow.  Yet construction is zipping forward as we roll into 2013.  After trenching up the site for electrical underground service, we now have power extending to each home.  Almost half the units are sheetrocked and another 6 are on deck for insulationContinue reading “Construction update 1/10/13”

Great News! This afternoon, Portland’s City Council voted unanimously to extend the waiver of Systems Development Charges on Accessory Dwelling Units for an additional 3 years.  The waiver covers all new ADUs (conversions or new construction) that are permitted before July 31, 2016 and obtain a final inspection and certification of occupancy no later thanContinue reading “Portland extends waiver of SDCs on Accessory Dwelling Units”
