Who is Lakefront for?

Lakefront is a home for people who want to live somewhere that reflects who they are and what they care about. You do not need a particular title or background. What matters is that you are genuinely curious — about your own development, about the world, and about the people around you.

Our residents come from many different fields: research, technology, the arts, education, sustainability, social enterprise, journalism, design. What they share is less about what they do and more about how they approach it — with seriousness, with openness, and with a sense that how they live matters as much as what they produce.

We look for people who:

• Care about more than their own success — and want to live among others who do too
• Bring something of their own — a practice, a project, a curiosity, a craft
• Are good to live with — warm, self-aware, willing to show up for the people around them
• Can commit to at least a year — enough time to actually become part of the community
• We welcome couples. We are currently unable to accommodate children
  
  

If you are not sure whether you fit — get in touch anyway. The conversation costs nothing, and the right people often surprise themselves.

Who We’re Looking For

1. Purpose driven

You care about more than your own success. Whether through your work, your creative practice, or how you engage with the people around you — you want your life to contribute to something larger than yourself. That does not require a grand title or a finished plan. It just needs to be genuine.

2. Committed to Personal Growth

You take your own development seriously. Not as a project or a performance, but as a quiet ongoing practice — a willingness to look inward, stay curious, and keep growing. You do not need to have it figured out. You just need to be honest about where you are.

3. Embodiment and Presence

You sense that a well-lived life involves more than thinking. You pay some attention to your body, your breath, your inner state — through movement, stillness, or simply noticing. The form this takes is entirely your own.

4. Love and Care

You are good to live with. You show up for the people around you, take an interest in their lives, and contribute to a warm atmosphere without being asked. Community is not something that happens to you — it is something you help create, in small ways, every day.

5. Community Experience

You understand that shared living is a choice that takes some awareness and goodwill. You do not need prior experience in intentional communities — but you do need to be the kind of person who thinks about others, communicates when something is not working, and finds something genuinely appealing about the idea of a shared home.

Is This You?

These criteria are a direction, not a checklist. If most of them resonate — and you like the sound of the place and the people — we would love to hear from you.
