Amabel

Mission: New Earth Living creates vibrant neighborhoods that connect people to one another and our
shared earth, providing spaces for trust, purpose, play, and ease. The Amabel Pocket
Neighborhood is one of those places. Amabel addresses the need for low-carbon living,
healthy and delicious food, energy and resource renewal, and meaningful social connections.
To this end, New Earth Living will build 30 fee-simple homes on individual parcels to create a
neighborhood that fulfills a need for privacy and tranquility along with supportive, enlivening
relationships; conserves natural resources; reduces greenhouse gases; and produces food.

The Amabel Pocket Neighborhood project will provide 30 single-family homes on a gorgeous
piece of land close to downtown Ithaca, the beautiful Cayuga Lake, Buttermilk Falls State park,
the Ithaca Farmers’ Market, Greenstar grocery, shopping, restaurants, and many other
destinations reachable by walking, bike, canoe, or kayak. The houses are arranged to allow
private enjoyment of the site’s exquisite natural beauty while simultaneously creating
opportunities for interactions among residents and visitors. Growing and enjoying food, solarenergy
production, and community-building practices are also key components of this cuttingedge
neighborhood.
The Amabel project is a venture of New Earth Living (NEL) LLC, a real-estate development
company founded by Susan Cosentini. New Earth Living previously built the highly
successful Aurora Street Pocket Neighborhood in the City of Ithaca.
