Welcome to Kailash Ecovillage!

Kailash Ecovillage is a 32-unit apartment complex located on a large, urban site in the inner SE part of Portland, Oregon. Besides the one-bedroom apartments, each with their own separate storage spaces, the facilities consist of a shared laundry and mail room, recycling and composting areas, and garden room. Additionally, a community room has been remodeled that offers space for community gatherings including ongoing monthly vegan potlucks and informational meetings. Residents and neighbors interested in gardening can take advantage of the on site community garden.

The goal of the ecovillage is to create a sustainable, eco-friendly community committed to providing a sustainable, ecological and safe living environment for all residents. It nurtures and fosters the well-being of the individual as well as the members of the greater community.

Unlike many cohousing communities, Kailash Ecovillage uses a rental model. This allows individuals with lower income and those without prior housing ownership to participate in a sustainable community. As not all residents are able to afford their own private unit, and we have occasional shorter-stay visitors, we now offer a hostel style dormitory accommodation. (There is a minimum of one week stay.)
