Home Goals and Ideals Sukkot Story Scrap Book	East Lake Commons is a Cohousing Community built on 20 wooded acres less than 5 miles from downtown Atlanta.  Our community is a family/child-friendly neighborhood built around pedestrian ways, a 4-acre organic garden, wildlife corridors, and is designed to fulfill ideals of social diversity and environmental sustainability. We are part of a much larger urban renewal/ urban pioneering effort involving unprecedented cooperation between government, private commercial enterprise, and local neighborhood associations to revitalize the historic East Lake district of Atlanta.
