Gaia residents recapture the essence of the village lifestyle that was found in Old World Europe, where homes were typically small and villages consisted of five to thirty families. Homes were situated together for security and sociability, and clustering allowed the surrounding land to be farmed. At Gaia, the homes surround a central courtyard and community organic garden. There is a protected woodland area by Rhododendron Creek and a greenway path that allows Gaia’s residents to walk to West Asheville Park and the urban core of West Asheville.
