Welcome to Steemit Hive account@judyroberts! And greetings from down south of you in Port Townsend, Washington!

I'm originally from Denmark, regarded by some as the home of cohousing. Sounds like you are doing it more the Scandinavian way, with apartments and a common space.... a lot of communities in the US seem more along the lines of "groups of hippies in the woods with trailers."

Anyway, hope you enjoy Steemit! Takes a little while to get established and develop a following... but well worth the effort, in the long run!
