The Loneliness Epidemic. How Cohousing Creates Community
Barbara considers herself a homebody, but even for someone who enjoys time alone, she recognizes the importance of human connection. She believes that belonging is a fundamental human need, and at Burns Village, that sense of belonging is built into the design of the community itself.
One of the biggest issues in modern life is loneliness, not the absence of people, but the absence of meaningful connection.
We’ve built lives that prioritize personal freedom and convenience, but often at the cost of community and daily human interaction.
Many people go days without meaningful interactions, even in neighborhoods filled with people. But cohousing naturally combats loneliness because it’s designed to foster organic, everyday connections.
Burns Village & Farm is designed to change the way we connect as a community, by creating a place where neighbors truly know, support, and grow with each other.
Barbara loves that at Burns Village & Farm, she doesn’t have to go out of her way to find community, it’s right outside her door. Whether it’s chatting with a neighbor on the way home, participating in a community event, or just knowing that help is available when needed, cohousing makes sure that no one feels isolated.
