Living Sustainably in Community
|
Imagine living in a neighborhood that's welcoming, safe and eco-friendly.
Private homes with generous common facilites.
Where people know and care about each other in a real village setting.
Newt Crossing Community is a forming, intergenerational cohousing community.
We highly recommend reading:

- We have the land
(map).
17 acres of rural wooded area about 5 miles from downtown Port Townsend, WA.
- The property currently has two houses, and a building that could be converted into a center house.
- We hope to build six more houses (depending on county permits) which will give us a community of eight residences and a common house.
- Preliminary budgeting indicates we should be able to keep home costs to average new home prices in this area.
- The pandemic forced our meetings onto Zoom, now it is time to host gatherings (distanced and outside) on the land.
- We plan to have a re-kickoff gathering on October 9, 1pm - 3pm, let us know if you are interested in attending.
- We hope to schedule a Getting it Built workshop in the next few months,
there will be a sign-up sheet at the re-kickoff.
This will give us a more realistic assessment of costs and timeline.
- Please see our about page for more information about us
- If you would like to know more about us, please don't hesitate to contact us at

We'd be happy to meet with you and answer questions via email/phone/Zoom
