What kat referred to above probably should have read, intentional communities. This is certainly an option that I have considered. I have been well acquainted with one of them and can tell you that there is much more substance to some of them than you might imagine. As you would with any enterprise, be sure to check the track record. Are they financially viable? How do they generate their income? Have they been established for very long? Do they offer a no-strings, "try us to see if we and you are a fit" opportunity?

Clicking here will bring you to a partial listing of what is available. You may want to check out their home page to read "What's True About Intentional Communities:
Dispelling the Myths" which will give you a good idea of what they are about. An excellent printed guide can be ordered here.
