Bassett Creek Cohousing

Mission: Bassett Creek Cohousing, a multi-generational urban community, is founded on the
principles of participatory decision-making and problem solving. Each member
contributes his/her talents to enable personal and community well being as well as
care of the environment.

Our community will include about 30 eco-friendly residences. Each household will
have a private kitchen as well as access to shared facilities in a Common House with
a large kitchen and dining area where we can cook together and share meals several
times a week. The Common House will include meeting spaces and workspaces
where we can share tools and talents. Gardening will be available to the extent the
site allows and maybe in nearby community gardens. Pets will be welcome. This will
be a tobacco/smoke free property.

From www.ic.org/directory/bassett-creek-cohousing/:

Bassett Creek Cohousing is a forming community of 4 households. We began focused on an area in Minneapolis north of 394 called Bassett Creek Valley. That area no longer seems feasible We now are searching for an urban site in the twin cites. Our hope is to find a site for 25-30 homes in a 3-4 story building close to some urban amenities - transit, library, shops. We want to be a multi generational community. We operate with Sociocracy principles.
