Stone Curves is inspired in part by CoHousing. Here is a brief introduction to CoHousing principles:
1. What are some of the prominent features of CoHousing?
- Privately owned attached homes in a community where privacy is valued and interaction and sharing among neighbors can happen naturally.
- Pedestrian-friendly. Minimizes exposure to the automobile, with parking on the perimeter. Fosters walking, and children playing easily and safely outside.
- Resaleability. CoHousing homes retain value and appreciate faster than conventional housing.
- Common house & green space. Provides for the possibility of a broad range of recreational areas and activities.
- Neighborhood watch system. CoHousing provides safety and security inherent in everyone knowing each other.
- Reduced energy consumption. Environmentally friendly.
- Various ages & stages of life. Diversity adds richness to the community culture.
- Range of prices for homes. Encourages economic diversity.
- "It takes a village to raise a child". Child-friendly environment develops healthy, happy children with less stress for parents.
- Avoids isolation. Encourages singles and elderly to have an active, meaningful role in community life, right outside their front door.
- Long tradition. Cooperation, neighborliness, and independence have deep roots in the American character.
- Homeowners make the decisions about managing and maintaining the community on a community-wide, consensus basis.
