Dr. Brenda U
I'm Brenda Uekert, a sociologist, researcher, and writer building Blue Ridge Cottage Court—a community of small homes around shared courtyards in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. After six years living full-time in an RV, I'm ready to build a home that doesn't roll and gather friends to create an eco-friendly, person-centered community.
Subscribe for updates on cottage court development, site selection, financing strategies, and what it takes to build intentional community from scratch. You'll also find nature videos and personal finance advice.
I publish "Cottage Court Chronicles" on Substack with weekly deep-dives on this journey. Join me there!
