History

A Rich History of Community
The first GHI homes were built in 1937 as one of three New Deal “Green Towns” modeled after the English Garden style. The original plans featured inner walkways, underpasses, playgrounds, schools, businesses, and facilities for recreation.

Self-governance

Member Participation Encouraged
Our community members are actively involved. Members can make short-term commitments on specific projects or events, work on committees and Task Forces, and seek an elected leadership position.

“This place is magical–walking paths galore. They meander through woods and courts and behind gardens and homes and parks–and lead to a cool town center. We love living here!”

Anna's testimonial image

“I love living in my cozy GHI home that I’ve been able to personalize with colorful art and craft; it is such a joy to come home at the end of a long day. I also like being able to live in a community where I don’t have to own a car. I can walk to the grocery store, the movies, restaurants, and leisure activities. I’ve lived here for 15 years, and it’s become my best and forever home.”

“I moved here to downsize to something smaller with less maintenance but I upsized to a perfect location that includes kind and friendly neighbors, my own peaceful outdoor space and walkable social and cultural opportunities.”
