Cohousing redefines the neighborhood concept to respond to the practical
and social needs of today's households and improve your quality of life. 
Cohousing communities are a housing type which cluster private,
self-sufficient dwellings around a "common house" with shared facilities. 
Cohousing fosters community relationships with neighbors while maintaining
personal independence. Residents participate in the design of their
community and play an active role in the group decision-making process
(see www.cohousingco.com for more information). 

Bigelow Homes, having been recognized as the Nation's Leading Energy
Efficient Builder, builds homes that pay attention these important
concerns:  total home comfort, preservation of the natural environment,
broader green building practices, natural resource land development
practices, environmental sustainability, and cultural and social
sustainability process (for more information, see www.bigelowhomes.com).
