Old Town Cooperative is a brand-new member-owned housing community coming to the heart of old town. We're keeping the neighborhood's character — and letting the people who live here have a real say in what happens to it.
Old Town Cooperative — 24 charter homes opening in 2026
A housing cooperative sits between renting and owning. Members purchase a share in the corporation that owns the buildings. That share gives you the right to occupy your home — plus a real vote in how the community is run.
Carrying charges (the monthly cost) stay predictable because the members set the budget. Maintenance is shared. Decisions about the property are made by the people who live in it, not a distant landlord.
The result is the kind of housing stability most renters never get — without the down payment, paperwork, and risk that come with buying a home outright.
Old Town has always had character — the kind that doesn't survive a wave of investment buyers and quarterly rent hikes. The cooperative is our answer: a way for the people who already love this neighborhood to keep living in it.
We're starting with twenty-four homes. They're fully renovated. They're priced to be a real option for working households. And they're owned by the people in them, together.
The goal isn't to be the cheapest housing in town or the fanciest. It's to be the most rooted — a place where neighbors stay long enough to actually become neighbors.
Predictable monthly costs, no surprise rent increases, and a long-term home you don't have to renegotiate every year.
You'll vote in member meetings, help shape the bylaws, and have a real say in how the cooperative is run.
Neighbors who stick around. Shared spaces that get used. Small daily moments of recognition on the front walk.
Every member holds an equal vote. The board is elected from and by members. The cooperative answers to the people who live in it.
Share prices and carrying charges are set to keep housing accessible long-term — not to maximize resale value.
The cooperative welcomes applicants regardless of race, color, religion, sex, familial status, national origin, age, or disability. Equal Housing Opportunity.
We exist to keep this neighborhood the kind of place people stay. Every decision is weighed against that.
The founding members of Old Town Cooperative will shape its bylaws, its culture, and its first decade. There are only twenty-four spots.
