Conover Commons Cottages - Redmond, WA
A complete, connected country retreat in the city
Conover Commons Cottages is a private and peaceful neighborhood, minutes from both Kirkland's and Redmond's urban centers, bordered by a nearly five-acre permanently protected woodland with a backdrop of breathtaking Cascade mountain views. Each artfully designed, highly detailed two-bedroom, two-bath 1,000 square-foot home, designed with community in mind, is surrounded by a small, fenced private yard and sensitively arranged around our hallmark, garden courtyards rich in native plantings. The community offers the luxury of both privacy and a secure neighborhood where neighbors know and are known by each other.
Conover Commons Cottages is intended for small households of singles & couples who seek the beauty of highly-detailed design, and environmentally-friendly features in a community close to job centers & transit. Cottage homes at Conover Commons are BuiltGreen Certified.
Amenities in these craftsman designed homes include room-sized covered front porches, peaceful back decks overlooking the permanently-preserved woodland, private yards surrounded by low fences, and colorful front-porch flowerboxes. Public spaces include a Commons building (for parties, potlucks, meetings, and personal projects), ‘lookout' exercise room, decks, and viewing platform overlooking a beautiful, heavily-wooded ravine permanently set aside as a Native Growth Protection Area. Conover Commons Cottages is the first new community in Redmond to participate in King County's Natural Yard Care program.
Conover Commons Cottages was designed by Ross Chapin AIA, Ross Chapin Architects.

What homeowners say:
"Everything about Conover Commons speaks to being stewards for the environment. The houses were built with wood harvested from the site, no pesticides are used in the gardens, solar panels are used in the community gathering house. Raising children makes you think about using the earth's resources more wisely."
