Actually, the FIC website at www.ic.org has a HUGE list of online communities, so you can search online as well as the in the communities directory. A few more differences. In a commune, the land and buildings are owned the by the group. Also, large communes are rare in the United States, most tend to be less than 20 people. Alpha Farm is one of the oldest communal communities in the NW and they are located on the web. You can find this, and other NW communities at the web address below. I do not think there is an online list serve for Intentional Communities like this one. If you happen to find one, I'd like to know about it.

In cohousing, one owns one's own house and the lot it sits on. Land/Buildings not privately owned are held in common. This sits well within the legal structure of home/condo owners associations. Banks are familiar with this legal structure and will provide financing (mortgages) for the private lots. I believe communes are more likely to do income sharing. I imagine what one is able to take away when one leaves a commune varies with each community. You might be best serve going to the intentional community web site, www.ic.org. Unfortunately, unlike our own www.cohousing.org, they do not list intentional communities on-line but one may buy their paper directory. Also going to the Twin Oaks Community Conference, 2002Aug30-2002Sep02, may help you decide which structure, communes, coops, cohousing, is for you. Good luck on your quest.
