About Kailash Ecovillage

In inner Southeast Portland’s Creston-Kenilworth neighborhood, this intentional community sits on a two-acre site about four miles from downtown. It suits people who want urban living with a strong ecological spine, plus enough shared life to make the place feel active without being overwhelming. Around 50 residents live here, with a range of ethnic, cultural, income, age, family, sexual orientation, and spiritual backgrounds.

Housing runs on a rental model and includes one-bedroom apartments and shared units. The setup keeps costs relatively affordable while giving residents private space alongside common areas. Social activity happens multiple times per week, with community life built around shared meals, work parties, art projects, and day-to-day exchange. Monthly in-person tours run from March through November, and a recorded video tour is also available.

Sustainability is not a side feature here. The grounds include individual and communal garden plots, organic gardening, local food production, rainwater harvesting, solar energy, greywater systems, ecological sanitation, swales, and a well. The property was developed from a former run-down apartment building into a green residential project, and that history still shows in the emphasis on reuse, resource sharing, and practical environmental habits.
