There are play activities for children, with a Kids' Congress in the works. Our frequent potlucks cater to different eating preferences, from meat to macrobiotics, and as we move toward the day when our common house is finished, we have also begun a system of planned meals that will lay the groundwork for our kitchen duties. There are parties for everyone, informal get-togethers, committee meetings, a book group. First Night has become a New Year's Eve at Solterra, as a traveling party for everyone with activities and food at many homes. Building at Solterra Solterra is cohousing with a difference.
Every house has direct car access.
Each house is unique and caters to the lifestyle of its residents. An Architectural Review Board oversees placement on the site as well as other aspect of exteriors, but owners have wide latitude in the kind of house they build. There are currently seventeen families in residence, and six homes under construction. At buildout, there will be thirty eight families. Each member family owns a deeded lot, and a share of the common land.
