For Sale: 4 BR 2 bath townhouse in a walkable, bikeable, tree-shaded, downtown paradise

Southside Park Cohousing, built in 1993, has the best of both worlds: close to everything, with a Walk Score of 72, but nestled in a quiet corner of the central city with little traffic.

We have a 4 bedroom, 2 bath, 1306 SF 2-story townhouse in a quiet gardened corner of the community for sale. Located off the street, with a rare private back yard. Ready to move in. Updated flooring and baths, off-street parking, spacious front porch, and newly constructed back deck. Interior and exterior recently painted. Compact front loading W/D, stove, and fridge included.

Our common house features large fully-equipped kitchen and dining room/meeting space/dance floor, outdoor dining patio, teen room, sitting room with fireplace, kids room with toys and performing stage, laundry room and wifi.

SSPCH also features a playground, hot tub, outdoor sitting areas, fully equipped workshop, bike sheds, covered parking, organic gardening, many fruit trees and other mature landscaping. The Southside Park neighborhood has an active neighborhood association and a thriving local arts and foodie scene. Just one block from huge neighborhood park, pool, and large ADA accessible playground. Largest Farmers' Market in the area is just two blocks away.


HOA dues are $375, which includes:
  • Operating expenses, including repairs, maintenance and all utility bills for common buildings, landscape and community property; water, sewerage, trash and recycling for the whole community; liability and property (including flood) insurance for everything except the internal parts of private homes and members' personal property.
  • Reserves to cover major upkeep and replacement when needed of all common property and the external portions of members' homes (including roofs and painting).
  • Committee budgets for management, routine upkeep and purchases.
  • A small supplementary budget for purchase of new items, when proposed to and approved by the community.
  • A small supplementary budget to pay for certain work tasks that we are unable to do ourselves as chores or at semiannual work parties.
