EcoVillage at Ithaca, located in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of upstate New York,
is part of a growing global movement for a saner, more sustainable human culture.

Comprising an intentional community and a non-profit educational organization,
the project is developing an alternative model for suburban living which provides
a satisfying, healthy, socially rich lifestyle, while minimizing ecological impacts.

EcoVillage at Ithaca is unique in that it includes three co-housing neighborhoods.
