The community's focus on environmentalism is carried through in the design of the private condominiums. Solar panels on the roofs, for instance, are used for heating water. — Text by Michael Chotiner; Photographs by Jay L. Clendenin/Aurora
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.
