Innovations In Co-Housing

"People who live in co-housing communities said they were drawn to them because the developments allow them to build close relationships with their neighbors. Homes in the developments typically face a central courtyard and have a common house, where residents gather for meals once or twice a week... But the real key to co-housing, residents said, is the day-to-day interaction fostered by the communities. Residents walk freely into one another's homes and often take care of one another's children."
