Village Life

A Typical Day in Liberty Village...

11/29/2017

13 Comments

 
The connection between community members at Liberty Village is an essential aspect of day-to-day life in a cohousing community. On a typical day, neighbors can be seen chatting on their way to and from work, while collecting the mail or taking an evening stroll with their dogs. These interactions may seem inconsequential, but in an age where texting takes precedence to face-to-face connections, we believe that the relationships we develop through these natural conversations enrich our lives. Along the same lines, at Liberty Village, children gather in small groups to play among the trees, sled down the slope, and ride bikes through the neighborhood, spending time outdoors and socializing with their peers rather than resorting to screen time as their primary form of entertainment. Fellow residents are comfortable borrowing items from the people next door, sharing childcare arrangements, helping those who are sick, discussing gardening tips, and baking cookies for new arrivals and new friends. Despite our diverse personalities and backgrounds, we care deeply about one another and are committed to developing a community wherein members actively seek out ways to help one another. We also join together for events like weekly dinners, seasonal celebrations, concerts, impromptu game nights, pick-up soccer matches and community work days. Sustainability and eco-friendly living is part of our shared vision at Liberty Village. Our community gardens are part of this vision, providing fresh produce to members of the community. In the spring and summer, members can be found working together to plant and care for our gardens.  We have (how many?) composting receptacles within the community, and members are encouraged to cut down on food waste while simultaneously helping the soil development in the gardens by composting. Members can also be found taking a stroll along the the paths in the “back 40,” 15 acres of conservation land that is also home to the community’s chickens that provide members farm fresh eggs on a weekly basis. As a "Homeowners Association", we manage and maintain Liberty Village ourselves. Residents participate in decision making by attending community meetings and by serving on a variety of teams designed to keep the various components of Liberty Village running smoothly.

Our community is continually evolving and growing as we work and live side-by-side, and as new people join us to live in the cohousing movement!

Hi - I lived with Beth Arnone in the JVC house in 1984. I also played tennis with Mike. I was hoping to get in touch with them and hopefully come out to say hi. Can you give her and Mike my phone and email address? Thank you.

I am a 62 y/o Grief Counselor/Hospice Volunteer & novice gardner interested in finding out more about the housing options available in your community. I only need a 2 BR place as I want to keep my carbon foot print low & I'll be living alone initially, & my 2 daughters will visit periodically. I will be relocating back to the VA/MD/DC area in March/April 2021. I love working outside, weeding, planting, mowing lawn, & cleaning chicken coops, mucking out stalls, etc. Thanks very much,
Leila

I would eagerly like to find out when there will be a house available for purchase. I am a wise Elder who would like to age in a multi-generational setting. I used to come in 2015 to the Sunday picnics then I moved away far far away and then I came back to Maryland. So I'm very interested in your community. I love nature, I believe that's how I connect spiritually to the universe, and everything that goes with nature ( except for climate disruption). I'm not wild about that sorry but I mean like growing vegetables and flowers and walking around where there are trees and enjoying people who are not glued to their phones Etc please let me know! Thanks so much

I first became acquainted with co-housing in the 90's. I wasn't able to join in at the time. I am now retired from nursing and free to live anywhere as I am unconstrained by family or work responsibilities. I currently live in a 55+ community in a town I have long respected. I have become very interested in how climate change affects everyday life and what I can do to make a difference. I am currently seeking a place to at least reduce my dependence on fossil fuel. For now I am learning to do with less and eliminate plastic as much as I can from my life. I am interested in learning if my personal values about the earth can jive with the community at Liberty Village.
