Urban Villages Create Good Neighbors
Although it is true that urban villages create good neighbors, it is also true that only good neighbors can create an outstanding urban village.
If you say "yes" to most of the questions below, please come meet like-minded people who could become your new neighbors.

Are you interested in living in the urban equivalent of a village? An earth-friendly, more simple, and less expensive way of living in the city? A place where you know, help, and depend on your neighbors? A place of safety for your children and grandchildren?
Do you want to live in a smaller, energy-efficient home within a green community?
A cohousing village is composed of private homes and shared amenities that are owned and managed by the residents. It balances friendly neighborhoods with the privacy of a home retreat.
The homes are built to conserve resources and may use some alternative forms of energy. The houses are clustered around shared facilities such as a common house, an organic garden, and/or a workshop.
The design resembles a village green. By clustering the homes and parking, residents also share open land, even in a land-scarce area such as the area around White Rock Lake.
Questions? Please come to our next introductory meeting. In the meantime, call metro 972 251-1532 for answers.
