What is a Co-op?
A co-operative is an incorporated corporation owned by its members. A housing co-op is a non-profit corporation which provides housing services to its members. Co-operative living is unique and differs from other forms of housing because it requires member involvement to operate. Member involvement comes in many forms from attending meetings and events to participating on the board of directors or on committees.
“The co-op shall be carried on for the purpose of providing housing to its members on a co-operative basis, and for the furtherance of co-operative principles and betterment of society, and without the purpose of financial gain for its members”
Who we are/About Asgard Green
Asgard Green Co-operative was incorporated in February 1988. The grand opening was 1990.
Asgard Green Co-operative Homes is a 70-unit townhouse complex providing market rent and rent-geared-to-income housing for its members. Asgard Co-op began in September 1990 when the first members came together to create a new community. We have two, three and four bedroom townhouses with full-sized, unfinished basements and fully fenced yards. Four of our homes are single level, two-bedroom, barrier-free units. In 2022 all homes were fitted with ductless A/C and heating units which compliment the baseboard heaters that came with each house.
