New Earth Living LLC is a housing development company and general contractor committed to creating a new model for living that fosters social connection, affordability and a small ecological footprint!

These micro-communities are designed to foster interaction among residents and make it easy for neighbors to share resources and live happier, simpler, less resource-dependent lives. Residents can participate in the design of common spaces and the customization of their individual homes. email: coz@newearthliving.net  607-327-1081

We are currently designing the homes of the Aurora Dwelling Circle to incorporate many of the principles from the book: Pocket Neighborhoods,  by Ross Chapin: www.pocket-neighborhoods.net

Just beyond the porches of the three new homes are small private gardens creating peaceful personal spaces for residents to nurture and enjoy.

The aim is that all 7 billion of us, as well as generations to come, live respectfully and sustainably on this precious, staggeringly beautiful planet. (more...)
