We were pleased to host the Port Perry coliving group over three days this month. We compared notes and learned from each other’s approaches on matters such as standards for design in common areas, approaches to creating a reserve fund, and how far to go in practising “financial nudity” (not shown).

Our house concert with Taylor Abrahamse was a huge success. We had more than 30 people grooving to Taylor’s tunes and enjoying his humour.

We’ve been doing some work on articulating what we see as the key benefits of coliving. Some of these are particular to Oakview Coliving, some are more broadly applicable. What do you think? Are these attractive benefits? Are there any we’re missing?

• Enjoy a healthy lifestyle in a supportive community of co-owners. Good food and dinner conversation

• Own part of a lakeside property for a fraction of its cost and save on a host of monthly expenses. Have money left over for travel and other activities

• Entertain family and friends in a lovely, private 2-bedroom, 4-season guest house.

• Live in a recreational mecca. Hiking, canoeing, swimming, skiing and snowshoeing at your doorstep

• Enjoy the benefits of ownership without being tied down

• Participate in profits from marina operations

• All of the above while reducing your environmental footprint
  

We’d be glad to hear any responses or suggestions for improvement.
