A village is small on purpose — small enough that showing up is realistic.
Neighborhood
Oak Grove Village
Portland, OR
Eleven blocks of older homes, a shared garden on 8th, and a slowly growing habit of front-porch hellos.
Intentional community
The Commons
Asheville, NC
A cohousing community with shared meals three nights a week and a workshop everyone is learning to use.
Residential building
Maple Apartments
Minneapolis, MN
Four floors of neighbors who mostly pass in the hallway — working on changing that, one gathering at a time.
