Multinational corporations are the ones asking our generation to follow them blindly. We are choosing to follow our conscience instead. Taking up only 3 of those 176 acres, this experiment in cohousing emphasizes community without communal living, efficiency without giving up amenities, and ecological consciousness without being extreme. The houses are examples of innovative architecture and beauty, with space-saving design and white oak trim throughout. Some gardens boast vegetables and herbs, others a brilliant display of blooms, while still others leave nature and wildflowers to have their way.
Backyards are meccas of privacy.
Some units have trellises or balconies. Some have greenhouses and flagstone porches. The Common House is available to all, with a spare bedroom for company overspill. Meals can be shared there three nights a week, and it boasts a laundry room, professional offices for rent, teen and toddler rooms and a sunlight lounge for socializing. Participation in all of this is optional and voluntary.
