Description:
Island Cohousing is a neighborhood of 16 houses and a collection of shared common facilities located on a 30-acre woodland site in West Tisbury, on the island of Martha’s Vineyard. It began in 1996 when John Abrams, president of South Mountain Company, a local design/build and development company, set to work with a core group of Islanders excited by the prospect of community living, affordable year round housing, and environmental responsibility.
