Community living at its best
One Membership = One Home
Ash Street Cooperative is an Illinois Not-for-profit business that offers Membership Certificates, in the form of homes, as stock in their company. As a Member, you are entitled to live in the home of your choosing until you sell your "share" when you choose to move out. With budget-friendly monthly fees and worry-free maintenance, Ash Street is the ideal place to establish roots.
Ash Street's focus is to provide quality Memberships, at affordable prices, while nurturing a community spirit among the members that call Ash Street home. Ash Street is unlike other communities in that the collective members set the rules, make decisions and set forth committees. This sharing of common interests and goals ensures the neighborhood remains safe, organized and preserved for generations to come.

Why Choose a Housing Cooperative?
Build Equity
Once you finish paying for your co-op, it's yours until you sell it. When you sell it, the money you earn back is all yours. It's like investing in yourself while simply living in your home!
Budget-Friendly Monthly Fees
Skyrocket rent prices can wreak havoc on your monthly budget. With our consistent, low monthly fees, you can rest assured your home AND budget are cared for. Monthly fees also cover co-op-wide maintenance, your portion of taxes and trash pick-up.
Little Upkeep
Don't own a lawn mower? No problem! We handle all lawn and tree care for you PLUS snow removal during winter in all the common areas!
Worry-Free Maintenance
Compared to owning your home, cooperative living provides you with the peace of mind that almost all maintenance problems will be handled by staff, at little to no cost to you. Heater out? No problem. 24 hour emergency maintenance.
Taxes Included
One of the challenges of owning your own single-family home is coming up with the property tax money twice per year. Our monthly fees automatically pay for your portion of property taxes, so no surprise financial burden.
No Stress
Your monthly fees also cover all capital expenses. When your building needs a new roof, you aren't responsible for extra costs.
