Green Grove Cohousing

The Green Grove Cohousing Community is a unique residential development located in Forest Grove, Oregon, designed for those seeking a vibrant, environmentally conscious, and collaborative living experience. With a focus on social justice, community service, and the arts, the community is situated on five acres, combining the charm of rural life with access to urban amenities. The cohort consists of nine homes, constructed using green building methods, featuring energy-efficient designs that prioritize health and indoor air quality. The construction of these homes was completed in March 2023, offering various sizes ranging from 900 to 1,400 square feet. Community living at Green Grove is bolstered by significant shared amenities. The central common house serves multiple purposes, from hosting gatherings and entertaining guests to functioning as a community workspace for play and art activities. Additionally, residents benefit from facilities such as a large wood shop, organic vegetable and flower gardens, a 15,000-gallon rainwater catchment system for irrigation, and solar energy installations—a demonstration of the community's commitment to sustainability. Green Grove also provides a structured yet inclusive path to membership for prospective residents. The membership process encourages potential buyers to engage with the community and understand its values and expectations, fostering a sense of compatibility and mutual understanding. Importantly, while interested individuals can explore ownership opportunities, the existing community members participate in decision-making processes but do not hold authority over new buyers. Currently, a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home is listed for sale, priced at $685,000, which highlights the community's attractive offerings and aesthetic appeal. Resident engagement is further enriched through various activities and social events, creating spaces for interaction and relationship-building among members. With a mix of resident and associate members, including families and individuals, Green Grove Cohousing aims to cultivate a cooperative atmosphere where sustainability and community ties are central to the lifestyle. Interested individuals are encouraged to reach out for more information, as the community is eager to connect with prospective members interested in this distinctive living experience.
