We’re Rachel Carson EcoVillage a visionary collaborative community with a commitment to sustainability, inclusivity, and social justice.
Our innovative co-housing development is located in McCandless Township, just 10 miles north of downtown Pittsburgh, PA. We are proud to be western Pa’s first cohousing community.
Our 35 unit community will be an eco- friendly, multi-generational neighborhood that fosters environmental stewardship, social cohesion, and a deep connection to nature.
We are excited to announce we have started construction! There’s still room for a few more individuals or families to join us.
Nestled in the woods, we are also adjacent to La Roche University, and within walking distance of a grocery store, book store, restaurants, movie theater, hospitals and public transportation we will also be in close proximity to downtown Pittsburgh, one of America’s most livable cities. The local public schools are recognized for academic excellence.
Our buildings and site are designed to connect us to nature and to each other: to promote personal interactions and easy sociability, while at the same time, allowing us the privacy of our own residences.
The entire development will be built to high standards of energy conservation, keeping our energy costs down. Our materials have been selected for long-term durability and affordability as well as better air quality.
Our 35 units community offers a range of home sizes, with pricing from approximately $235,000-$600,000. Move-in begins in fall 2025.
