There are several types of communities listed here! We encourage you to browse these communities based on your specific preferences.
Private homes with shared common facilities, designed for neighborly
interaction while maintaining independence.
Shared living spaces with private bedrooms/bathrooms and communal
kitchens, dining, and social areas.
Cooperative housing primarily for students, often with shared chores,
meals, and democratic decision-making.
Communities of small-scale dwellings (typically under 500 sq ft) emphasizing minimalism and sustainability.
Integrated communities designed around ecological principles with sustainable living practices.
Communal living with shared resources, property, and often income or work responsibilities
Age-restricted communities designed for older adults’ needs and social connection.
Geographically close groups of independently-owned homes whose residents actively cultivate community relationships and shared values.
