Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Any family-based 55+ cohousing in existence?

Yes, that is precisely what we are doing.  We are committed to
multigenerational community.  And we find it a bit unfortunate that
"senior" cohousing is the fastest growing segment of the cohousing
movement.  Why?  Because it takes seniors out of the loop, and constrains
the development of true (i.e., multigenerational) communities.
