Rediscovering Community: Why I Chose Cohousing Near Nashville
Diane Scher grew up in a small, close-knit community in New York, where kids could roam freely, eat dinner at their friends’ houses, and parents never had to worry. But as she moved through life, that sense of true community became harder to find.
A Neighborhood That Felt Like Home
Diane Scher grew up in a small, close-knit community in New York, where kids could roam freely, eat dinner at their friends’ houses, and parents never had to worry. But as she moved through life, that sense of true community became harder to find.
“I never found that again after we moved. When I was raising my child in Nashville, everything was so isolated. You go into your garage, close the door, and that’s that.”
This longing for deeper connections, safety, and shared experiences led her to Burns Village & Farm. She wanted to create the type of environment she once knew—where people look out for one another and kids can safely grow up with a village around them.
Burns Village & Farm isn’t just about housing, it’s about reviving the spirit of community in a world that often feels disconnected.
