giving everyone a sense of purpose and a voice. The benefits of home ownership without the hassles Making the decision to sell a home isn’t always easy. Even when maintaining their residence has become a burden, many people don’t want to give up the financial benefits that come from owning property. Cooperatives are unique because they allow member-owners to continue to claim the tax benefits of home ownership and build equity. But, things like yardwork, snow removal, and property maintenance are all included in the price of the cooperative share,

and are handled by someone else. Member-owners get all of the benefits of owning a home without worrying about the maintenance headaches that usually come with it. Need space? No problem. Co-ops come in many different layouts and sizes, so there’s no need to give up space in order to have a home that’s maintenance- and worry-free. From one to three bedrooms or more, there is a co-op home to fit just about everyone’s needs. Features like single level living and walk-in closets offer convenience and storage space, while finish options allow buyers to create a home that reflects their tastes.
