Croft Place features 21 townhomes developed by the nonprofit Delridge Neighborhoods Development Association and managed as a co-housing community. Unlike other co-housing arrangements Croft Place is composed entirely of rental units. Tenants agree to perform at least 8 hours of communal activities each month and receive access to a Common House where they can hold meetings or special events and use computers in the Technology Lab. The community was built on 6 acres of wooded hillside, although through a partnership with the Seattle Parks department 3 acres have been preserved as open space. A Cluster Housing Planned Development Permit - intended to preserve natural features, protect environmentally sensitive areas and encourage housing affordability - enabled developers to "cluster" homes on smaller than normal lots.
