Syntropy is an 8-member house on the near east side of Madison, one block from B.B. Clark beach. Our small community tends to attract relatively older (+/-30) members, but we’re open to people of all ages and currently range from the mid-twenties to mid-forties. Our house boasts hardwood floors, a wood burning stove, a lovely front porch with a swing and couches, shared vegetarian meals (with organic veggies from a CSA during the summer), a vegetable garden, two chickens in the backyard, and a view of Lake Monona from our bay window and front porch. The bus stop for the 3, 4, 7, 10, and 38 is right out front! We also have a sweet canoe! We currently subscribe to the Wisconsin State Journal and New York Times, have a house Netflix account, and basic local cable. All rooms are DSL ready and have wireless access.
