The economics of cohousing: The principal of shared resources says we can all have more by pooling a small part of our resources to meet common needs, than if we each tried to obtain all the same benefits through personal acquisition.

All the infrastructure of parking, paving, public access, sewer, water, storm drainage, cable communications, electric power, and community irrigation is completed and included in new lot prices.
Revenue from new lot sales will pay off old debt and start permits and construction of the Common House.
We achieve energy conservation with highly insulated semi-detached homes.
Very economical ground source geothermal heat pump systems for heat and air conditioning are about 1/3 of normal HVAC operating costs.
Installing and providing common parking areas helps reduce sprawl, storm water runoff and maintenance expense of extensive driveways.

The greater benefits: All of us at Liberty Village have witnessed that the greater benefits of living in community that cannot be measured in dollars and cents. We immensely enjoy:

mutual support we give to and receive from our neighbors
the friendly greetings
the shared work and social gatherings
the community meals in which we share both the providing and the receiving
the wonder, peaceful ambiance of our extensive open spaces, gardens, woodlands and landscaping
the pleasure of watching each other’s children and grandchildren at play and also monitoring their safety
