Acequia Jardin is a small cohousing community in Albuquerque, New Mexico, inspired by the pocket neighborhood concept that encourages interaction with neighbors. And because it is a cohousing community, home ownership includes a share in the community garden and use of the guest caseta, community room and common lands, with residents volunteering for task within the community. Acequia Jardin holds discussion groups and yoga classes, and workshops, along with community meals. Homes designs are energy efficient. Within walking distance of the community are parks, the library, shopping, and a community center.
