Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Inter-generational age-in-place co-housing communities - are there any out there?

[David Heimann (heimann]

Hello,

	Adding further to what Patti has mentioned about Jamaica Plain 
Cohousing:

	We generally decided to go for flats as against duplexes, a lot 
because (a) we're an urban cohousing community with 30 units on less than 
an acre, so we couldn't afford to lose a lot of space to internal 
stairwells and (b) what Patti mentioned about having our units being 
internally navigable and visitable (with elevators so that they are 
externally navigable and visitable as well).

	We also went for as much insulation in the floors and walls as the 
architects would offer, which has taken care of a lot of potential 
interunit noise problems (and made for great energy efficiency as well).

Regards,
David Heimann

Jamaica Plain cohousing is a multi generational community. We designed the 
community so that we could age in place. All of our units are accessible 
by elevator, and all of the units are wheelchair visitable and adaptable.
