A Part of the Geos Neighborhood

in Arvada, Colorado

April 2019

Spring is in the air, even though as this is being written, another blizzard is headed towards the greater Denver area. But it will be sunny and warm again before you know it!

We invite you to join us for National Cohousing Open House Day on Saturday April 27th and to join us for a community meal at a member's home on Sunday, April 28.

At both of these events you will have the opportunity to meet the members of Ralston Creek Cohousing, view the future site of "The Gatehouse", visit existing cohousing communities nearby, and share a meal with us, just like we will do when the cohousing community is complete.

See details below!

Geos Grand Opening

Ralston Creek Cohousing will be built in the Geos Neighborhood which recently held their Grand Opening on March 5th. The mayor of Arvada, Marc Williams, city council members, developer Norbert Klebl and current residents celebrated by cutting the ribbon.

You could be a part of this net-zero energy community!

Rightsizing Panel Discussion

It was standing room only for the Rightsizing Panel Discussion organized by members of Ralston Creek Cohousing to help people see how they can fit a big life into a smaller space. This event was held at the Arvada Public Library on Sunday, March 10th. A big "thank you" to the panelists and all that attended. This topic is very timely and residents listened to and asked questions about downsizing, decluttering and transitioning to a smaller home from the expert panelists. If you were unable to attend, you can watch the entire event here:
