There are some co-housing/intentional communities in the US but it's quite rare. The one I visited a couple of years ago had several what we would call townhouses surrounding a common area and a community center building in the center with a meeting area and a large community kitchen. The people I met who lived there were of all different ages from people with young children to retired folks in their 70s. There was a community garden area and even a small wooded area with a creek. Some of the residents were even doing beekeeping with a community hive. It seemed really nice, but, as I said, it's a rare living arrangement here.
