Description: A former office building at 7981 Eastern Avenue was renovated by Eco-Housing into 56 co-housing units. Co-housing is a form of housing that began in Denmark about 40 years ago and spread to this country in the late 1980s. It attempts to foster community by allowing residents to share some living spaces, such as common dining facilities.
