About Us and Our Oak Cliff Ecovillage and Cohousing Community

Why do we have a survey?

The survey is a research tool that is compiled, then guides us in: 
1. Planning meeting locations.
2. Seeking land in Oak Cliff
3. Knowing what people seek in their own personal lives and ideal communities.

It also adds you to our mailing list for invitations to our meetings and new information regarding ecovillage/cohousing in the Oak Cliff or other areas.

Please fill out the survey here. It is quickly done. Thank you.

Oak Cliff Village is an intentional neighborhood in an earth-friendly setting. We are an intergenerational group of people who wish to be neighbors in the Oak Cliff area.  

Robert Gilman wrote in the magazine Living Together, "To fulfill the ideal that the activities of the eco-village be harmlessly integrated into the natural world also requires that the eco-village:

• build with ecologically friendly materials
• use renewable energy sources
• handle solid, liquid, and gaseous wastes from buildings in an ecologically friendly manner
• have a minimal need for motorized transport
• build in ways that have a minimal impact on the land and the local ecology."

Gilman continued, "To fulfill the ideal that the eco-village support healthy human development requires that the buildings in the community:

• have a good balance of public space and private space
• encourage community interaction
• support a full diversity of activities."

Oak Cliff Village, an urban ecovillage, is being planned by the residents and will be developed and built by the green building firm of AndersonSargent.
