Central New Jersey is not immune to two of the major problems afflicting people across the United States: loneliness and a housing shortage. A new initiative in the Hightstown/East Windsor area aims to address these issues by developing a collaborative neighborhood while offering a model for people to help plan their own affordable and friendly living spaces. The Rocky Brook Cohousing project brings together residents, planners, and advocates with a shared vision for a more connected, sustainable future.
As this project gets off the ground, it will be the first cohousing community formed in New Jersey. At this stage, Rocky Brook Cohousing has enlisted Charles Durrett, architect and advocate for affordable, sustainable design, as a consultant on the project. Durrett has designed more than 50 cohousing communities in North America.
