So I'm curious,

Does anyone know of any "Intentional Communities" that are made up of Orthodox Christians? (Of course, all monasteries are "intentional communities" but I'm asking about any for non-monastics - married couples and families, singles who have taken no vows, etc.).

What is an "intentional community"? The following website has a definition:

"Intentional Community is an inclusive term for ecovillages, cohousing, residential land trusts, communes, student co-ops, urban housing cooperatives, alternative communities, and other projects where people strive together with a common vision."

Source of definition: http://www.ic.org/
Off-hand, I think that the Companions of New Skete might serve as an example of what you are talking about.
