A Neighborhood on Purpose

In our cohousing community members work together to create a socially rich community that is safe, sustainable, diverse, egalitarian, supportive, attractive and affordable.

Members collaborate to plan and develop their own neighborhood. Homes are owned privately but are deliberately clustered to provide a village-like common space that is protected from vehicle traffic. There is also a common house, which typically includes dining, recreation and childcare facilities and other amenities. In our community there is no effort to establish a religious or philosophical creed; what we share is a desire to live more economically, ecologically, and cooperatively.

From daydream to absolute solid reality

Last real update was May 27th and it is so out of date! We are just humming....This is really about to happen, we are in labor and the baby is on the way. No stopping us now. The design committee has narrowed us down to two architectural firms; we'll be making that decision shortly. We're negotiating on a property, can't say more, don't want to jinx it! More and more folks starting the path towards membership, and it is so wonderful how you all are jumping in with both feet to help us get the work done, get this show on the road. Lots of work, but it all feels like fun, to make it happen, watch it happen, because our goal is so visible now, no longer a pipe dream but totally real. Yes, lots of work, behind the scenes, so this blog sometimes gets neglected! Pretty soon we'll have a lot more to share...Stay tuned!
