INDEPENDENCE SQUARE TOWNHOUSES

A Housing Cooperative Community

Cooperative housing offers a unique alternative to traditional renting. When you move into Independence Square, you become a member of a nonprofit corporation that owns the property. Instead of paying rent to a landlord, members purchase a share in the co-op and contribute monthly to the upkeep of the community. That means lower housing costs, more control over decisions, and a greater sense of security and stability. It’s affordable, community-driven living — without sacrificing comfort or independence.

Benefits of Co-op Living

  • Affordable Housing:Cooperative housing is often more budget-friendly than traditional homeownership or market-rate rentals. Monthly charges are typically lower and more stable.
  • Shared Responsibility:Members work together to keep the community strong, clean, and well-maintained. Everyone benefits, and everyone plays a part.
  • Stability and Security:Unlike renting, your share in the co-op gives you long-term housing stability.
  • Community Involvement:Members have the power to shape policies, make decisions, and elect the Board of Directors. It's a democratic process that gives you a say in the place you call home.
  • Maintenance Made Easy:From lawn care to snow removal, most routine upkeep is handled by the cooperative, freeing you from the hassle of managing property repairs on your own.
