Cohousing groups often struggle for years until they find a site and gain the momentum they need to become a bricks-and-mortar cohousing community. Would-be cohousers have been asking McCamant & Durrett for this information for years, and we have finally published this book on how to find, assess, secure, and purchase a great site for cohousing.This book gives cohousing groups (as well as other land-hunting groups  like non-profit housing developers and ecovillage founders) the benefit of our twenty-five years of experience developing cohousing, as well as the experience of a long-time site acquisitions manager for a major capital investment firm.

A movement that began in Europe has taken hold in North America because it provides some real answers for the increasing number of people who stop to look at where and how they live and at their impact on the environment. Cohousing is a way for a group of people to work together to develop places to live that offer both privacy and community with the values of an old-fashioned neighborhood-safety, independence, mutual concern. Many of these new ventures are up and running and many more are in the planning stages. Delivering more bang for the buck, this innovative approach to housing is challenging the formidable housing problems we face, and it is succeeding.
