Hello!

Phil from Live Near Friends here. 

We're hosting a live online session on building a Custom Friend Compound - a cluster of 2-6 private neighboring homes, designed so the people you love become the neighbors you actually see.

A Live Near Friends Custom Compound on Buena Vista Avenue in Alameda, California utilized new legislation to turn one lot into three separately owned, neighboring, single family homes.

Has your friend group talked about building a home together? Do you wish your parents - or your closest friends - lived across the yard instead of across the country? Are you a new parent who'd love childcare that's 30 steps away, not 30 minutes?

Live Near Friends Custom Compounds will help you realize that vision. This is only now possible in California due to changes in zoning that allow for multiple separate homes to be built on formerly single family lots. The homes can be owned separately on individual loans so no need to get financially entangled.

On Hampton Road in Piedmont, a single family home with a big back yard is subdivided into two separately owned lots designed to have a shared yard.

We'll walk through how a Custom Compound really comes together:

  • How new California housing legislation allows 1 lot to become 2-6 separately owned homes.
  • What construction actually costs, and how long it will take to build. 
  • We'll share real compounds people have built, and leave plenty of time for Q&A on your situation.
  • How to work with Live Near Friends to make your vision happen.

By the end, you'll know what it takes to turn the idea into a plan.

Come join!
