CoHousing:

Co-housing aims tobalance the traditional advantages of home ownership with the benefits of shared common facilities and connections with your neighbors. These co-operative neighborhoods are among the most promising solutions to many of today's most challenging social and environmental concerns.

Co-housing communities seek to incorporate the best aspects of privacy and community. Each household has a complete private home but also jointly owns and has full access to extensive community areas which are integrally designed for daily use. Co-housing is a concept developed in Denmark in the 1970s by people who were disenchanted with the quality and alienation of modern urban living. Significant numbers of Danes now live in co-housing communities and about 20 new projects are set up each year.
