Due to projected construction & permit cost savings, all prices have been reduced, some into the low $300K’s. We are working toward a mid-January construction start, so we can be in our homes before the 2013 gardening season begins. Please contact Noelle for opportunities to meet the group and Eli to reserve a unit today.

Build community! Visit Portland Homestead Supply for a free class 6:30-8pm this Thursday by Eli Spevak on how he and others have launched small and large communities of homes in and around Portland. Eli will discuss design elements that foster food production/preservation, sharing and neighborly interaction, living lightly & abundantly on earth, and fun. Check here for class details and RSVP information.
