The Common House at ElderGrace is at the center of the community. Here in the communal living room, members get together for a monthly board meeting. The Common House also has a communal kitchen and dining room for regularly scheduled group suppers, a multipurpose room, a laundry room, a computer room and a guest room for visitors. — Text by Michael Chotiner; Photographs by Jay L.

2010 Livable Communities Awards
SANTA FE, N.M.
Category Winner for Developer — up to 250 units
ElderGrace is a cohousing condominium development for low- and middle-income people 55 and older. It was designed through a partnership between its resident members and the nonprofit Santa Fe Community Housing Trust. Planning began in 2006, and the community now consists of 14 duplex homes, encompassing 28 one- and two-bedroom units. A Common House gives residents plenty of opportunities to meet up. The 3.5-acre site provides shared outdoor spaces, including walking and biking paths and a community garden and orchard, all within a half-mile of grocery stores and a quarter-mile of public transportation to downtown Santa Fe, just five miles away.
