Pacifica Cohousing

In 2001 architect Giles Blunden and a group of interested people created a new neighborhood around community, diversity, sustainability, and affordability.

Pacifica is a community of 47 households in Carrboro, North Carolina. The first residents moved in to Pacifica in 2006, but the community's history stretches back to about 2001. At that time, architect Giles Blunden, who lives in one of Carrboro's other cohousing communities, Arcadia, and a group of interested people sought to create a cohousing community close to downtown Carrboro. After many mee

tings and an expanding group of people interested in creating the community, construction began in 2005. The community celebrates its anniversary on May 1, 2006, when the first homeowner moved in. Features include two rainwater cisterns (5k & 15k gallons), organic community gardens, passive solar design, and solar hot water and radiant floor heat in many of the units. All homes meet Advanced Energy Corp "System Vision" green building specifications. The Common House has the largest residential photovoltaic solar array in the triangle area.
