We are a community of cooperation. We aim to promote standards that will protect each individual and the entire cooperative in providing pleasant, attractive and quality homes. We ask that each resident do his or her best to respect the rights and feelings of all other residents in the cooperative.
Our History
About Us
St. George’s Village was built in 1990 with the first occupants arriving July 1, 1990. St. George’s Village is unique because it combines affordable housing with outright ownership for seniors in the form of an equity or market value cooperative. At the time St. George’s Village was developed, equity cooperatives were very rare. ​

Participation is a necessary part of cooperative living, and all members are expected to volunteer by joining a committee, becoming a board member, or helping out where they can. Volunteering helps keep living and operating costs low and affordable.
