Kinder way to live!

SMART NEIGHBORHOODS AMERICA LLC

This local real estate development company is the co-developer of the 606 N Washington St CoHousing planned for Alexandria. The founders of this entity will provide a new path of real estate development that emphasizes community building. It includes energy efficiency, net zero facilities, a sustainable lifestyle, clean, safe, and affordable, with renewable energy providing its energy output, all in a foundation of cohousing. For these reasons, we are offering a hybrid approach to these communities and identifying it with the spelling CoHousing.

 

Our development concept will not only be energy neutral and sustainable but with the community focus of CoHousing as its baseline. It has been defined as a "kinder way to live”.

 

The initial offering of our concept will be the 606 N Washington St CoCo in Alexandria. From this project, the SNA principles will seek to meet the needs of its member community and other developments that fulfill the interests of its families to embrace this alternative way of existing together and with nature. To learn more about CoHousing and our planned communities, we invite you to become a member of SNA (Smart Neighborhoods America) and help change how we live together today and into tomorrow.
