Cohousing--an Appealing Option for Boomers
We received this from a member of a new cohousing community in Massachusetts.
"Cohousing is a concept that may be very appealing to the aging hipster. Cohousing is a intergenerational pedestrian friendly neighborhood geared toward a balance of private and community space" Take a look at Mosaic Commons.
Hmmm...old age home with jello for lunch and a nice game of bingo after dinner or a community in some beautiful part of the country with real neighborhood, several generations, and independence. Tough choice.
Cohousing is a burgeoning movement, with communities all over the country. It's an interesting option for those who want to get back to their hippie roots, redefine community, or just start planning for their second acts. The Cohousing Association of the United States is a good starting point.

Thanks for the link. It's the Cohousing Association of the United States (Coho/US), not America, by the way.
Your readers may be interested to know that we operate regular bus tours in the SF Bay Area (next one July 8), Boulder/Denver, Boston/Western MA, and DC areas, visiting several communities. Our national conference is in Chapel Hill, NC this July 21-23. And there are current openings in many communities, including Swan's Market Cohousing in downtown Oakland, CA, 12 minutes from downtown San Francisco (click on my name to see the site).

I love it! What else would one expect from us Boomers? Many of us have Uranus in Cancer in our birth charts. We'll go on reinventing the family until the end!
