What Is a Housing Co-operative?

At Glen Gardens you become a member, not a tenant — with a real voice in your community.

Living at Glen Gardens means actively participating in the operation and governance of the building. Members elect their leadership, share in the responsibilities, and keep our non-profit community affordable — creating a true sense of pride and ownership you won’t find in a traditional rental.

The Four Pillars of Co-op Living

1 · Member Ownership

Residents are members with a genuine stake and a voice in the community — not just renters.

2 · Democratic Governance

Members elect a Board of Directors and vote on the decisions that shape co-op life.

3 · Shared Responsibility

Every member gives a few hours a month to a committee — Maintenance, Gardening, or Finance — to keep our community thriving and costs low.

4 · Affordable & Stable Housing

As a non-profit, we keep housing charges fair and secure, so members can put down roots.
