Interest in cooperative living has grown steadily as more active adults seek flexible, maintenance-free housing options that support long-term independence. Cooperative housing is especially appealing to adults 62+ who want to simplify their lifestyle without paying for unnecessary services, while still retaining the financial benefits of homeownership and the ability to age in place.

This housing model has continued to evolve, building on proven design principles first introduced by Ebenezer in Edina, Minnesota. These include spacious homes with adaptable layouts that support changing needs over time, along with thoughtfully designed common areas that encourage connection, recreation, and community engagement.

Together, these features create a highly desirable senior living option—one that balances privacy, ownership, and community in a way traditional housing models often cannot.

Cooperative Comparison

What's the Difference?

Co-Op Ownership
Everyone has ownership interest in the entire property together. The cooperative holds the title to the master mortgage.

Condo Ownership
Everyone owns a divided piece of the property, holding individual titles. Owners take fee title or have sole ownership of a dwelling unit.

Renting or Buy-In
No ownership. The building is owned by a third party and charges tenants to live there. Buy-ins may retain a portion of the upfront cost upon transfer/re-sale.
