What about buying into an existing cohousing neighborhood?

Turnover tends to be very low in built cohousing communities. The vast majority of people who sell their homes do so because their life circumstances change, not because cohousing doesn't work for them. The Cohousing Marketplace lists cohousing homes for sale or rent, as well as developing groups seeking new members - or you can find information on most cohousing communities (built and forming) using the Community Directory.
