My wife and I are happily relocating to Ithaca NY and TREE, the third neighborhood in EcoVillage at Ithaca. Last summer we sold our three-story Victorian home in Pittsburgh--which was much too large and energy-consuming for the two of us--and have been living near Ithaca in order to participate more fully in planning for this next stage of our lives. We are delighted that we'll be living out our retirement in a caring, intergenerational community committed to sustainability, affordability, and accessibility--surrounded by organic gardens and farms, woodlands, and dark skies at night (a boon to this amateur astronomer), just a few minutes from the center of the culturally rich city of Ithaca. We are happy that this is no "gated community": most EcoVillagers strive to foster their values both within their community and in the outside world.
