Cohousing is a type of collaborative housing in which residents actively participate in the design and operation of their own neighborhoods.
Cohousing residents are consciously committed to living as a community. The physical design encourages both social contact and individual space. Private homes contain all the features of conventional homes, but residents also have access to extensive common facilities such as open space, courtyards, a playground and a common house.

Cohousing is an immensely important movement in our history of trying to make peace and teach cooperation between people.
Silver City EcoCommunity was a planned community in Silver City, NM. We are still meeting to discuss possibilities in the Silver City area.
