Seven of the 12 townhouses have basements. For the other 34 units in the community, shared storage rooms are located in the East End basement, the Commonhouse basement, and closets on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors of the Commonhouse. The shared storage in these locations are allocated to specific units according to a formula that takes into consideration the unit size, number of bedrooms (expected occupancy), and a minor additional space if the unit is considered small for the number of bedrooms (see the November 2007 storage space allocation spreadsheet).
Units on each floor of the Commonhouse share the storage space of the closet located on each floor. To accommodate possible future reallocations of space among neighbors on these floors, these three groups are clustered together in the Commonhouse basement area as well (see the November 2007 Commonhouse Storage Plan). The Commonhouse Storage Plan is documented in the quilt by Susan Sternfeld hanging on the wall outside the storage room door. (Bob Co. 2016)
