Bay View Ecovillage
Milwaukee, Wisconsin,
United States
 The Bay View Ecovillage is a diverse, urban intentional community focused on social connections and environmental action. Located in the Bay View neighborhood of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, only blocks from Lake Michigan, we believe quality of life increases as our "footprint" decreases. Representing six different decades of experience, we have 9 members living in two duplexes.
