Colibri Commons

Colibri Commons is a small cottage cluster community in the Jade District in Southeast Portland, Oregon.

We are a community of 4 families looking to thrive and build community with shared gardens, outdoor gathering spaces, and experiments for urban homesteading and sustainable living.

There are shared spaces for tools, storage for outdoor items, and some limited parking for compact vehicles. Although, the garden spaces are a bit on pause due to the ongoing construction, but we expect to do some landscaping restart the gardening in Spring 2025.

Who are we looking for?

We look for people interested in joining our community and open to explore ways on how urban homestead can be built in the Jade District in SE Portland.

Colibri Commons is a cottage cluster community, with values based in social justice, permaculture, and collaboration.

We are currently three small families living in this property. We are a diverse multiracial community, with residents coming from 4 different countries. The property has shared garden beds, a chicken coop with 7 chickens, and two greenhouses, one of which is intended to host an aquaculture system.

Colibri Commons consists of an existing house, plus two 800 sqft ADUs and a 640 sqft unit:

Available Units:

2 ADUs each 800 sqft with the following features;

We envision a small community of 5 households where households share tools, where kids can play in the yard safely, and where we share food though a monthly potluck.  We believe that building community is one of the best strategies for building physical, social, and emotional resilience to the coming shocks.

Through the sharing of meals, tools, and responsibilities, Colibri Commons will be a place where people can contribute their unique talents and support each other and the broader community through the individual and collective challenges to come.
