In 1989, New View was founded to develop a cohousing community in the Boston area. Our goals are to foster a sense of neighborhood, to create a safe, enriched setting for raising children, to respect the natural environment, and to contribute to the surrounding community. Our families are socially diverse, including couples with children, couples without children, single mothers, elders, and a lesbian couple. What connects us is not a particular ideology, religion, or culture, but, rather, a desire to live together in a supportive community. Making decisions through consensus, we purchased land, hired development professionals, and built houses on our twenty acre site located in Acton, Massachusetts.
Team work is at the heart of the New View development process.
Our last household moved in November, 1996. It's been a long road, but it's wonderful to be home. Information Our bylaws Cohousing on the Net A good place to start is with the Cohousing information web page published by the Cohousing Network.
