There is more detail that Ann Zabaldo can give you but Takoma Village was 
developed this way too. And I think Eastern Village. It means compromise with 
the developer but honestly, the developer knows what is most cost effective. So 
when developers say “sell beyond the cohousing market” they mean, at least in 
part, what will sell. The price has to be within the general market price.
