Traditional Housing Copies Cohousing as People Focus More on Their Values

American home and neighborhood designs change constantly. If you put yourself randomly in a 20th century neighborhood, chances are that you could tell the decade it was built, even after the avocado-green siding is replaced. We may be in for an even bigger than normal shift in the next decade. How will a 2015 neighborhood be different than a 2007 subdivision? A recent Chicago Tribune article summarizes the eight great real estate trends of 2009:
1. Smaller Houses
2. More apartments
3. Increase in attached housing
4. More rental units
5. New urban centers with homes close to shops and restaurants
6. Common green spaces for outdoor enjoyment of homeowners.
7. Creating Community - where the developer provides social features beyond land, bricks and mortar.
8. Online marketing of homes
(see http://archives.chicagotribune.com/2008/dec/26/realestate/chi-real-estat...)
Do these features sound familiar?

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.
