What Makes Cooperative Homeownership Unique?
Cooperative housing is a form of homeownership that blends the best aspects of owning and renting. At Ash Street Cooperative, members own a share in the cooperative rather than the deed to their individual unit.
This means:
✔️ You have ownership rights and build equity.
✔️ You have one vote in the cooperative, giving you a say in important decisions.
✔️ You aren’t responsible for costly exterior maintenance, unlike single-family homeowners.
This setup provides financial security and stability, making it an excellent long-term investment while keeping homeownership more affordable.
Why Cooperative Housing is Better Than Renting
Many people choose to rent because it’s easy—no maintenance worries, no large down payments, and a predictable monthly cost. But renting comes with one big downside: you don’t build equity. Each month, your rent goes toward your landlord’s investment, not yours.
At Ash Street, cooperative homeownership provides similar ease to renting but with financial benefits:
🔹 Fixed Monthly Costs – No surprise rent hikes; your payments remain predictable.
🔹 Building Equity – Instead of throwing money away on rent, your share in the cooperative gives you real ownership value.
🔹 A Say in Your Community – Unlike renting, where landlords make all the decisions, you have a vote in the cooperative.
Why keep paying rent when you can put your money toward an investment in your future?
Why It's Easier Than Single-Family Homeownership
Traditional homeownership can be overwhelming, with endless repairs and unexpected costs. If your roof leaks, the furnace breaks, or the siding needs replacing, those expenses fall on you.
At Ash Street Cooperative, grounds staff handle the maintenance so you don’t have to worry about major repairs. This means:
✔️ No shoveling snow or mowing lawns.
✔️ No unexpected costs for roof repairs, siding replacements, or major plumbing issues.
✔️ A well-maintained community without the stress of finding and hiring contractors.
You get all the perks of homeownership without the hassle of upkeep.
A Stronger Sense of Community—Without Shared Living Spaces
Unlike traditional apartment-style co-ops, Ash Street Housing Cooperative is made up of individual townhomes with private outdoor spaces. You get your own home, your own yard, and the independence to live how you choose.
The only shared spaces are outdoor common areas, such as grassy sections near sidewalks, which are maintained by the cooperative staff. This means you enjoy homeownership with privacy while still benefiting from a well-kept neighborhood.
