An Ebenezer-Managed Community

Excellence in Senior Cooperative Housing

• Senior Independent Living in Style
• Prime Edina location
• Member-owned and governed
• Active participation
• Spacious floor plans

Join the first senior housing cooperative in the United States that continues to be an internationally recognized model of successful, independent, cooperative living for seniors.

Developed in 1978 as a limited equity cooperative which operates as a nonprofit business, 7500 York Cooperative has the tax advantage of home ownership and the conveniences offered by professional management and maintenance services. 7500 York Cooperative is member owned and member run through a vast committee structure that encourages everyone’s participation.

While the cooperative fosters a strong sense of caring and community, it also respects members’ rights to privacy and lifestyle choices.

Cooperative Living
7500 York members purchase an ownership share in the Cooperative which entitles the shareholder to occupy a specific unit. A share increases in value each year as equity is added, according to the Cooperative By-laws. The original share purchase price plus accrued equity less selling expenses is returned to the member or to the member’s heirs upon resale of the share.

7500 York resident members share their talents and experiences for the enjoyment and enrichment of the community. New and lifelong interests and hobbies are pursued through involvement in a wide selection of resident-run activities, such as:

• Gardening
• Music & arts
• Excursions
• Hobbies & crafts
• Exercise
• Library
• Life enrichment
• Woodworking

Pride in ownership and the satisfaction of being personally involved in shaping a quality community are the essence of the Cooperative’s unparalleled success.
