Your Savings
One monthly co-op fee covers everything—including utilities, internet, trash, and maintenance. Annual increases are modest: just enough to cover rising costs, not developer profits. Our units are affordable to a diversity of income levels, family sizes, and age groups.
A portion of your monthly fee is deposited into a Personal Wealth Account—in your name, yours to keep when you leave. Compared to renting in the same neighborhood, the savings and wealth building can exceed $25,000 over five years. Use our calculator below to see your own savings.
Unless you plan to stay over 15 years, Co-op Casa is a better financial choice than buying.
No down payment or closing costs.
No exposure to mortgage interest rate risk.
No maintenance costs—saving an average of $3,000 a year.
No realtor commissions or market-timing risk when you leave.
Our sites are chosen for proximity to where people work, with nearly 50,000 jobs in our service area. Close to transit, bikeways, and shops, it’s possible to live car-free. For households who choose this path, the savings are real: $650–$1,000 a month—nearly $100,000 over ten years.
