Columbia Ecovillage opens its doors!

Keys are turning in the doors to Columbia Ecovillage's 37 residences, as community members slowly sign their sales agreements and move in. The excitement and cheer is palpable, after just a little more than a year of building both our community ties and our new homes, which sparkle with sustainable finishes and updated systems. Community dinners are being held twice a week this month in our common farmhouse, which is fast becoming a social hub for members.
Despite the challenges of launching a project just as the economy decided to take its nosedive, and forging the unconventional path of creating an ecovillage within the city limits, Columbia Ecovillage is thriving, a sign that this is a model for the times.
We still have a few studio, two bedroom, and three bedroom units left; for more information on units, prices, and amenities including our organic farm, check out the developer's website. And to learn more about our community's vision and values and how we've formed so far, see the community website.
