Cohousing-L Mailing List: Cornerstone Village (Cambridge, MA) cohousing unit for sale is Boston Globe "home of the week".

[Raines Cohen (rc3-coho-L]

The following appeared on Boston.com (The Boston Globe affilliated- 
website) today:
Headline: Unusual cohousing development offers opportunity for  
neighborly connections

"Loners need not apply. Not that they would want to. After all, one  
of the key tenets of "cohousing" developments like this one in North  
Cambridge is interaction with neighbors.

"On a really nice snowy day, you can just pick up the phone and say,  
'Come on over for dinner,' " said Rosemary Kennedy , who is selling  
her unit at Cornerstone Village Cohousing.

Kennedy was one of the original occupants of Cornerstone, which  
opened its doors five years ago with a vision statement that reads,  
in part, "We believe that people who have connections to others in a  
community context live richer and happier lives."

Not a long article, but nice to see it as the focus in the Real  
Estate section. It's unclear if this is editorial or advertising- 
department originated; author is Vanessa Parks.

Oh yeah, in case you're in the area:
"Listing broker Margot Hull of Fairfield Properties plans an open  
house for 1 to 3 p.m. today."

from Austin, en route to a communities gathering near San Antonio,  
after yesterday joining Chuck Durrett and Dr. Betsy Morris, Coho/US  
Research Director, speaking at the American Society on Aging  
conference (where cohousing was "the word of the conference,"  
according to a journalist covering the field, mentioned at quite a  
few of the "aging in community" sessions and represented by a booth  
on the Expo floor, and meeting with Chicago regional cohousing  
organizer Hal Mead (who Betsy joined for a Prairie Onion Cohousing  
meeting) and catching the the tail end of a cohousing/ecovillage in  
Dallas. Wearing my "ask me about cohousing" button onboard the train  
to Chicago helped attract a potential Senior Cohousing site/developer
