Homeowners used to have to take the good with the bad. There are many financial benefits to property ownership, but that also means bills, repairs, maintenance and a number of other unpleasant surprises. As we age, these hassles become more draining. But active adults (62+) now have a new option that is coming soon to Cheyenne that allows them to reap the financial rewards of home ownership, as well as the joy of a vibrant community, without all the work and expense: The Village Cooperative of Cheyenne.
“The Village Cooperative of Cheyenne is coming soon and will provide active adults a new housing option that offers them home ownership—and all the financial and tax benefits that go with it—without the headaches of maintenance, ongoing repairs or surprise repair bills,” says Steve Von Schmidt, vice president for the Village Cooperative. “Finally, there is a housing option for active seniors—working or retired—that is affordable and yet has all the amenities they want in their next home in this area.”
“New” Concept Isn’t New
The Village Cooperative is a nationwide network of senior cooperative housing communities, sometimes called “co-ops.” “While it’s not a new concept, it is new to Cheyenne” says Von Schmidt. “In fact, senior cooperatives have been around for over 40 years, primarily found throughout the Midwest.” Real Estate Equities Development, LLC, the development company behind the Village Cooperatives, has been in business since 1972 with a primary focus on cooperatives for its owner-residents, called members, since 2003 with 50 Village Cooperative locations that are either open, under construction or being planned for construction in 13 states.
Featuring a simple ownership process that’s less costly and cumbersome than traditional real estate, members select from a variety of one bedroom, two bedroom and two bedroom with den homes with no steps within in a three-story building built over secure underground parking. Those who reserve early will also be able to choose their home plan and interior finishes. This community includes many amenities including a club room, reading areas, community area with kitchen, hobby room, guest suite, raised garden beds, while-you’re-away services, underground heated parking with a car wash bay—all wrapped up in a fully secure building. The homes are equipped with all appliances including a washer and dryer, in-home storage, walk-in closets and individually controlled heating and cooling.
Home Ownership for a Fraction of Other Options
Because of the building design, style of management, ownership structure and prevailing attitude of the members, this senior housing option provides a lifestyle that lives very different from a single-family house, townhouse, condominium, senior apartment, or assisted living facility. The cooperative lifestyle gives each owner a standard of living, an involvement with peers of a similar age, and a degree of comfort and security not found in other types of housing—all for a fraction of the price of a patio- or ranch-style home. Probably the greatest difference between life in cooperative housing and living in other housing options is the pride of ownership and community. Their attitudes reflect a sense of belonging and the underlying awareness of pleasant and secure living, reminiscent of the neighborhood where they lived and raised their families.
