(RECAP: A new cohousing community will be coming to Crozet by 2018. Emerson Commons will be located on 6.1 acres along Parkview Drive off Route 240. Cohousing originated in Denmark and started to be adopted in the U.S. in the 1980s. People in a cohousing community own their own homes, but have opportunities to participate in numerous neighborhood activities and share open spaces. Peter Lazar, who is developing the community, said features of Emerson Commons could include sharing landscaping tools, such as lawnmowers, and neighborhood activities, such as potlucks, happy hours and neighborhood breakfasts. The community will have a total of 26 residential units, with a combination of multi-family and single-family attached and detached housing.)
