What do most housing cooperatives look like?
Co-ops can be almost any time of housing, and there is a wide variety in terms of what housing cooperatives look like. Housing cooperatives can be high-rise apartment buildings, garden-style apartments, townhouses, single-family homes, and senior housing. There are other kinds of housing cooperatives. Mobile home park cooperatives usually own the land, utilities, and community facilities; their members own the individual “mobile homes.” Some other housing cooperatives own land and community facilities and use legal documents including recorded covenants as the basis for maintaining the desired cooperative controls over functioning of the cooperative community.
