Testimonials

  • "We heard about Village Coop in 2010 from my uncle. He was extremely eager to share their experience in Marshalltown and I was convinced it was the way to go. When we heard the coop in Cedar Rapids was being built in the area we're looking for a condo, we decided this was meant for us."

    LeRoy and Fran of Cedar Rapids

  • "I nearly walked away from Villages, but with the help of my realtor and Penny Shedek, I am reassured that I won't move twice and that I can relax about this."

    Les of Cedar Rapids

  • "We appreciate the privacy, the choice of socializing and the quiet, convenient setting. We were ready to give up gardening, yard care, snow removal and all the upkeep projects. We love the benefit of living in a neighborhood where you know your neighbors and they are all active like we are. We love it here!"

    Don and Karen of Asbury

  • "This is the most affordable option I have seen. I'll have freedom of worry about in and outdoor upkeep, live in a secure building, and belong to a group of people that will help each other out if needed."

    Anne of Cedar Falls

  • "The cost of the buy-in compared to purchasing a single family home or condo greatly interested us as our cost of living will be reduced. We look forward to losing lawn care, snow removal, and no stairs to climb when doing laundry."

    Robert and Martha of Cedar Falls

  • "The first thing that was important to us was the new lifestyle...carefree, new friends, and community living. When we are gone for the winter, our home will be looked after - of course no mowing or snow shoveling either! Plus, with the security we'll have, we know our safety is taken care of."

    Bill and Jane of Cedar Falls

  • "My children are so excited for me to live in a secure community.  I will enjoy getting to know my new neighbors.  My house is getting to be a lot of work and to go across the icy street for my mail is scary.  I can hardly wait."

    Beverly of Marshalltown

  • "We liked the fact that we won’t have to invest all our money into the Cooperative, leaving us more capital to work with other investments."

    George and Jean of Asbury

  • "Moving to the Village Cooperative, almost two years ago, has been one of the best decisions I have ever made!  I absolutely love living here in this beautiful building, and my home is just what I wanted and needed.  I have made so many good friends here at the Village Cooperative.  It is a wonderful place to live."

    Susan of Marshalltown

  • "Each home is just like living in a house but without the work and maintenance; and yet has everything a person could want. The best thing is we are coming back home and the project is long overdue for Clinton."

    Frank and Jan of Clinton

  • "Having lived for 13 years in a cooperative setting, we are familiar with the benefits and The Village has addressed all our concerns in a cooperative. The all-inclusive payment will save us money and the age specific environment is also a benefit."

    Bill and Phyllis of Clinton

  • "We can own our living space which makes it an investment for us as well as a positive lifestyle change. Also, our neighbors are people in our age group who are looking for the same lifestyle change as us!"

    Bob and Sue of Clinton

  • " Our home is light, comfortable, safe and convenient with plenty of storage space.  But of all we are surrounded by friendly people.  We enjoy the many activities available to us and yet everyone can choose to live as privately as they like."

    Morris and Marian of Fergus Falls

  • "Living at the Village Cooperative means not having to worry about household repairs.  Whether it is an appliance, electrical or even a plumbing problem, we just call the office!"
