Nyland

Lafayette (near Boulder), Colorado,

United States

Nyland is a cohousing community of 42 private homes in a rural setting outside Boulder, Colorado, with an expansive view of the Rocky Mountains. Our community consists of approximately 135 residents with varied backgrounds, careers, ages, and views. Yet, we all share the same desire to live near neighbors we know in a small neighborhood. We offer each other support and friendship, while respecting our needs for privacy. Our common vision is a physically and emotionally safe community where children play on the pedways, neighbors lend each other a hand, and nature coexists peacefully in our open spaces.
