Senior Cohousing Book Instructive and Hopeful
Charles Durrett's Senior Cohousing book will help lead us into the next 17 years as an estimated 75 million Baby Boomers head into retirement. It only makes sense that the generation that brought social and environmental awareness to the fore would be searching for a sustainable, suportive, self-managed community housing solution for their later years, and Durrett has outlined in detail how - and why - to go about it. The step-by-step chapters are interlaced with impotant and interesting sidebars, illustrations and photographs. The spirit of the book is both informative and fun. The candid photos, quotes and anecdotes drive home the glee with which these Elders are taking charge of their lives. After reading Senior Cohousing, for probably the first time in my life, I thought getting older might actually be a hoot. - Kate , posted 02/07/06

An excellent way to learn about new D-I-Y retirement options
It doesn't just cover "seniors", but also the ongoing evolution of cohousing in the U.S. and Denmark. - Raines , posted 08/19/05
