To create and live in a residential community (20-35 households) west of Boston based on the cohousing style of living including:

• a balance of shared, common space and private homes,
• a common house integral to community activities,
• housing design and development that supports community living,
• child-friendly environment with centralized play areas (inside and outside),
• minimal impact of automobiles in and around our living and recreational areas,
• consensus decision-making,
• environmental consciousness,
• social responsibility, and
• financial responsibility.

To create housing that is affordable to individuals and families with a range of incomes.

To create a community that welcomes, respects, and supports diversity of age, race, religion, sexual orientation, ability and disability, political persuasion, educational philosophy, family structure and financial status.

Our intention is to support each other and embrace the need for extended family creating a healthy interdependence.
