Greetings!
Maybe you met one of our residents, or saw a flyer for one of our summer events, or came across us on social media, or were searching for information about communal living or trans-centred spaces in the Northeast US. However you found your way to our site, we hope you enjoy your stay!
This website is under construction. But what website is not?

WHY is The Rêve?
At its core, our purpose is to create a home and sustainable space for our residents that can also respond to community needs, centering historically marginalized groups.
We aim to be part of a lineage of queer intentional communities and serve as a possibility model — an example of what things humans can create and be while in caring community.
