The Village Winslow Cohousing began in early 1989, and we moved in April 1992. We are located on 5 acres in the Winslow district of the City of Bainbridge Island , Washington, one mile from the ferry and the 35 minute ride to downtown Seattle. Bainbridge Island is a small town with about 20,000 residents. Homes range from 518 to 1391 square feet.
Floor plans are similar throughout the village, and many homes have the capacity for expansion.
The duplex and fourplex homes have private backyards, with all kitchens facing the walkways, courtyards and green areas where children can play, neighbors can visit or stroll. We are a mix of households, of vaied backgrounds, ages and views, yet we share the desire to live near neighbors we know in a small community. We can offer support and be available for friendship, while respecting each other's limits. As a group, we have no ideology or group political stances. We are sensitive to the diverse needs of our members, and have adopted values statements from time to time.
