Welcome to Ravens’ Roost! We are a thriving cohousing community built on trust, respect, self-governance and consensus. We are members of a multi-generational cohousing community located on Anchorage’s lower Hillside, just 15 minutes from downtown Anchorage. While acknowledging that each of us holds dear our personal views and beliefs, we are united by our commitments to each other and shared core values.
Becoming a member of Ravens’ Roost offers both significant benefits and real obligations. Cohousing communities are unique living environments that require member participation. While we have a minimum work requirement of 6 hours per month, many of our community members commit considerably more time to the management and maintenance of our community.
The benefits include new friendships, shared work and play, endless opportunities for learning, social events and shared celebrations, community dinners and a beautiful, peaceful living environment, walking paths through green open space, and shared infrastructure – a common house with laundry room, library, kids area, multipurpose room and a workshop.
The obligations include actively participating in the physical and nonphysical work necessary to maintain our self-managed community, including snow removal, yard work and cleaning common areas, participating in community and team meetings, coordinating community events and communication and information management. For larger projects we hold 2 4-hour work days each year.
Ravens’ Roost honored with 2 Awards!
The Alaska Housing Finance Corporation and the State of Alaska Home Builder Association awarded Ravens’ Roost and The Petersen Group with the 2017 Developer of the Year Award in recognition of designing and developing the most energy-efficient multi-family homes in the state. Our homes received a coveted 6 star (the highest level in Alaska) rating based on thermal resistance, air leakage, moisture protection, and ventilation. The 6 star rating means our energy usage is reduced by 20-35% versus a typical home.
The Alaska Chapter of the American Planning Association awarded Ravens’ Roost with the 2017 Best Practices Award.
