Community
What is the plan?
We are developing a Cohousing community of 24-48 home units on the western side of Denver, Colorado (we are currently looking at land in Jefferson county between Golden and Boulder).
We intend to create amazing shared areas starting with an incredible manor-house-style common house with a great kitchen and both indoor and outdoor dining areas where meals and other activities are shared several times a week. Other shared facilities will depend on the founding members' final vision and our budget but may include a laundry room, gym/yoga studio, theater, teen lounge/game room, library, craft room, shared workspace, guest rooms, swimming pool, hot tub, parking garages which will support most of the community's solar array, gardens, greenhouse, playgrounds, dog run & dog wash, coffee bar, wine cellar, maker space, EV charging stations, sacred space, bee hives, wellness center, preschool, elder living, limited commercial space and more! The only limits are our budget and our imaginations!
Estimated Timeline
This is our ideal timeline. It is not guaranteed as many circumstances can occur that could delay any phase, but this is what we are aiming for!
2025 - Incorporate & apply for 501c3 status.
Continue forming the founders group and grow the community.

What Do We Need?
Explorers - Folks who are interested in learning more and being involved in the early stages of development. Cost to be an Explorer is $150/family
Founders - A founders group who want to co-create this vision together. Become an Explorer first, then as the project moves forward $5,000 initial investment. Deposit is applied to your home purchase.
Donors - Anyone who wants to see this model of community happen and are willing to make a tax deductible donation to the organization.
Investors - People or organizations who want to make a return on their investment but don’t necessarily want to necessarily live in the community.
Partners - Businesses and organizations such as contractors, solar companies, NGO's, etc. who want to participate in making this vision come true!
Home Costs:
Based on our current pro forma home costs are estimated as follows:
Apartments: $250-$550K
Duplexes, Flats and Single Family Homes: $350K-$1.1M
All prices include not only your personal living space with private kitchen and baths but also a prorated share of the community spaces and land.
Total Project Cost: $38-50M depending on the final cost of the land, the number of homes and other factors including shared facilities. Depending on the land we purchase (and our families' timeline) the community may be built in two phases of 14-24 homes.
Lower prices are subsidized rates for qualifying families or individuals. Higher prices are market rate.

Shape Your Community
Secure Your Future
Become a Founding Member of Gratitude Village
Becoming a founding member at Gratitude Village offers the rare chance to shape your future community from the ground up, where your values and vision can be woven into its very fabric. As a founding member, you'll play a central role in creating a space that reflects the principles of connection, sustainability, and shared purpose. Imagine living in a community where your voice matters, where your ideas on design, green technology or community programs are not only heard but implemented. You'll have a say in how communal spaces are developed, from the greenhouse, gardens and makerspace to play areas and the common house—a chance to create the community you've always dreamed of.
In addition to leaving your mark, you’ll also enjoy financial and lifestyle perks. Founding members receive priority access to the most desirable home locations within Gratitude Village and have the opportunity to lock in discounts and lower pricing before general availability. As the village grows, so will its network of amenities, green initiatives, and community-led events, increasing the value and quality of life for all residents. Joining from the start means building lasting friendships with other founding members, collectively setting a vibrant, inclusive culture that future residents will join and uphold. It's an investment in not only a home but in a lifestyle defined by shared values, mutual support, and a commitment to a brighter, sustainable, net-zero future.

What does it take to become a founding member? A $5,000 deposit secures your spot as a founding member. As an incentive half of this initial investment buys down the price of your home (total $7500 off the price of your home) while the other half is an interest bearing loan to the community to be paid back out of any profits or distributable funds when the project is complete. Home sites will be selected based on when you place your deposit. Call Suzie at 720-689-4821 or email us at info@gratitudevillageco.com with questions or to get started!
We want to be your neighbor!
Gratitude Village fosters a unique community where nature, connection, and diversity thrive harmoniously together.
