Launching on May 1st, 2022, we are currently accepting interest forms for founding residents who have a passion for community and want to be involved in the formative stage!

Some magic from our other homes:

welcome to society 62

The Layout

This project consists of three stories, each of which is designed to be a self-contained community household. Each floor has a fully equipped chef’s kitchen, and open plan living space with ample dining and plenty of living space. Everyone has a private bedroom, and many beds have private baths. The first floor has eleven bedrooms, the second floor has twelve bedrooms, and the top floor has six lofted bedrooms.

Interior Design

Each of the three flats is being thoughtfully furnished- couches, rugs, art, plants, chairs, as well as a fully equipped kitchen down to silverware, bowls, plates, cups, pots and pans. We’re incorporating 8 years of experience in running (and living in!) coliving houses into the design selections of this home. Whether need to find a cozy nook to tuck away and read in, or you want to tell stories around the fireplace- we have all your home needs covered.

some amenities include:

Breville espresso machine, professional chef knife set, large Instant Pots, GreenPan ceramic cookware & Libbey dishware in kitchens
109″ solid acacia wood dining table
Brand new furnishings from All Modern, West Elm, CB2 and the like
Media rooms with professional grade projectors
Furnished patios with lanterns on each story

The Location

Based in the Northeast Portland neighborhood of Rose City Park, the building is on Halsey St with some nearby restaurants, pubs and coffee within walking distance (the Barley Pod, a food truck court, is across the street!). It’s a 10 minute bike ride down to Mt. Tabor, and situated right off I-84, it’s quick to drive anywhere in town.
