Community Living in Portland

The Village is a unique shared housing community in NE Portland. It’s like Hogwarts, but with a Scandinavian design. It consists of 26 community members across four separate houses – Royal House, Waddle House, Pickle House, and Whiskey House – each with its own unique culture and traditions. Despite living in different houses, people can often be found hanging out together in the courtyard, sharing dinner, or coming together for events. In the history of the village there’s been a run club, muay thai club, as well as weekly community dinners.

Waddle House, Pickle House, and Whiskey House are all newly built 7 bed, 7 bath homes designed for coliving. Royal is a 5 bed, 3 bath house that was built in the 1900s, but renovated to be the common house at the Village. It includes a huge community kitchen, dining room, and living room. The community also shares an indoor bike room, laundry room with 3 washers/3 dryers, and a gorgeous outdoor courtyard that includes a covered fire pit, picnic area, and cozy outdoor amphitheater.
