What is a cooperative community?

Housing cooperatives are a distinctive form of ownership that are membership-based.  They combine the pride and benefits of home ownership with the convenience and cost-efficiency of community living.  As a Not-for-profit, The American Cooperative of Anoka is owned and controlled by its Members (residents), which protects the cooperative’s long-term property value and affordability.

The American Cooperative of Anoka is a limited equity cooperative partnering with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to secure the financing of the cooperative through a master mortgage.  In addition, The American Cooperative of Anoka works closely with HUD to ensure the safety and maintenance of the cooperative.

As a Member, you are issued a share in the cooperative which gives you the voting rights to elect the cooperative’s Board of Directors.  Each home represents one voting share.  While the cooperative holds the title to the property, members have an exclusive right to occupy their home through their ownership in the cooperative.

Does my share value appreciate?

Your initial Share Price at The American Cooperative of Anoka appreciates 3% per year until you sell.  This amount compounds annually. A $750 fee is charged by the cooperative for marketing and selling your home.

What are the tax benefits of a cooperative?

The benefits are identical to those you enjoy in your single-family home.  Generally, the real estate taxes and mortgage interest are fully tax deductible.  However, please consult your tax advisor to better understand the specific benefits to you.

Can I customize my home?
