The Professional Team

Building a new community is a lot of work. To transform an inspired vision into bricks and mortar is in many ways a work of art. The current members of our cohousing community and those yet to come are indebted to the professional team that made Sunnyside Village Cohousing an earth friendly, people friendly, and fun place to live.
