About the Community

What we do

Rachel Carson EcoVillage at Providence Heights is a multi-generational community dedicated to practicing sustainability. Located adjacent to La Roche University in McCandless Township, PA (11 miles north of Pittsburgh) we are the region’s first cohousing community.

Located within walking distance of a grocery store, book store, restaurants, movie theater, hospitals and public transportation we will also be in close proximity to downtown Pittsburgh, one of America’s most livable cities. The local public schools are recognized for academic excellence.

The Rachel Carson EcoVillage is a caring and cooperative community. Our buildings and site are designed to connect us to nature and to each other: to promote personal interactions and easy sociability, while at the same time, allowing us the privacy of our own residences.

The entire development will be built to high standards of energy conservation, keeping our energy costs down. Our materials have been selected for long-term durability and affordability as well as better air quality. Our 35 units community offers a range of home sizes, with pricing from approximately $215,000-$550,000. Construction will be complete in 2026.

Our Mission

We’re a group of individuals and families who have joined to build an extraordinary life together.  The one thing we all have in common is a desire to know our neighbors.  Our EcoVillage  will be a multi-generational community that includes people from as many cultures and backgrounds as possible.  We welcome individuals of every race, ethnicity, culture, age, ability, gender identity, and sexual identity to join us in creating an inclusive, caring, and diverse community.
