Take care,

"Regular" cohousing is also intentional neighborhood so I think this term 

doesn't sufficiently distinguish what makes "let's all buy houses in an 

existing neighborhood" different.

Really, since any term will require a 5-minute explanation, as is still the 

case with regular cohousing, I think "the N Street Model" might actually be 

the best descriptor for now. It doesn't set up any false expectation that 

saying it equals making it perfectly clear.
