Detroit Street Family Co-op
Denver, Colorado,
United States
 We are a conscious, creative household. We will be looking for someone to share our beautiful, cozy, comfy, two-story, four-bedroom Victorian house in June or July.
This is a great central location in Congress Park, a lovely safe neighborhood near downtown & Cherry Creek. Within walking distance are three parks, shops, restaurants, the Tattered Cover bookstore, the film society cinema & the Botanic Gardens.
There is wireless internet, a private backyard, a big garden with a pond, and an art studio/workspace. We are people interested in building community, sustainability and growing food.
Together we create a relaxed comfortable home. We are part of a larger Denver community.
There are 3 bedrooms and a nice bath upstairs as well as a small office/sitting area. Another room and bath are on the main floor.
Owner/caretaker is often away in the winter.
Rent is $640/mo./ room plus $65 utilities.
We want quiet and considerate people, ideally with some spiritual awareness (such as yoga and meditation). We all consider this our home and share in cleaning, gardening and care taking.
There's no TV here. No cigarette smoking and limited alcohol consumption (we might have wine with dinner). We like healthy food.
This is an opportunity to practice living in community and creating a happy cooperative household as well as participating with gardening and nutritious meals.
How people relate to each other and how they reciprocate is the basis of any society. We change the world by changing how we relate. Interactions based on kindness create peace.
