Cohousing is a type of intentional community. It means people live in privately owned homes but share common spaces and come together around shared values.

Take time to learn about cohousing and our community—read our website, come to meetings and events, tour the property, and explore what cohousing really means. When you’re ready, let the Marketing Circle know. They will provide you a link to the Operating Agreement and the Membership Agreement and bring your name to the Members for a vote.

Living here can lower your carbon footprint by:

• Sharing tools and equipment.

• Driving less (thanks to carpools and shared errands).

• Living in energy-efficient homes.

• Using shared spaces instead of building bigger private homes.

All homes will be built by Fullwiler Construction at the same time to keep costs down.

You’ll choose from a few standard designs. Custom options happen after move-in (like paint, furniture, etc.). Exterior design and placement are chosen to meet city rules and create a beautiful, varied neighborhood.

We all are. Every adult has an equal voice, and we use a decision-making system called Sociocracy—it’s based on listening, consent, and collaboration.

Every adult member has one vote. Before you’re a full (Equity) Member, you can still attend meetings and give input, just not vote yet.

Sunnyside won’t offer rentals, but individual owners can rent part or all of their home. Renters must understand and respect our community values.

Pets are welcome—but must be well-behaved and not dangerous. All pet owners must follow Marysville’s animal laws.

Absolutely! There’s a large community garden and orchard, plus space around each home for personal gardening.

We do! Sunnyside is self-managed. That means we all pitch in — for planning, gardening, repairs, and more. Professional help is hired when needed, but day-to-day, we run things together.

That’s the legal business entity we use for managing community operations.
