Newberry Place

Newberry Place is an urban cohousing community under development in Grand Rapids, Michigan. We're a group of people building an intentional neighborhood, or "urban village" in the city consisting of 20 homes, and a group-owned and managed common house, grounds, and play area. We broke ground in November 2006, and move-in is scheduled for the summer and fall of 2007. We have no religious, political, or other type of affiliations as a community. We simply share a common belief that people who have connections to others within a community live richer and more fulfilling lives, and we decided to build a community based on that ideal.
