Nokomis Square Coop sits in a residential spot in South Minneapolis, close to both downtown Minneapolis and the St. Paul Highland area, and you can get to the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport and the Mall of America without much trouble, because public transportation options like buses and the Hiawatha Light Rail Line are nearby, and right around the building are plenty of stores, restaurants, a post office, banks, a library, and supermarkets, so you don't have to go far for most things. This cooperative housing community has seven floors and 203 units, with more than 20 floor plans to choose from including one, two, or three bedrooms, and units range in monthly fees from $748 to $1787 which already cover things like Direct TV, high-speed internet, and phone, and these apartments are kept in very good shape with options like walk-in closets, oversized windows, and ample storage, and many have balconies where you can see Minneapolis and the nearby lakes or parks.
Lake Nokomis, Minnehaha Creek, and the Mississippi River are all close by for anyone wanting to enjoy some nature or a walk in the park, and you'll find outdoor activity opportunities as well as community gardens. The building has things like an exercise room, woodshop, craft room, dining area, guest room, hair salon, community room, carwash, Wi-Fi, laundry facilities inside the building, and a heated underground garage with a $10 monthly fee. The atrium, which reaches all seven stories, acts as a big gathering place and the dining room is spacious, featuring work by local artists, and the lobby feels welcoming and warm. Pets are allowed, but only if they're under 15 pounds, and management prefers you call for the full details before you bring any pet.
The resident-run cooperative model means decisions come from within the community, with help from a management company, so members get a real say in things, and the sense of belonging comes from many shared events and projects like potluck dinners, summer cookouts, holiday parties, group outings to museums and concerts, gardening, book clubs, poetry gatherings, exercise classes, card games, and craft groups, and you'll often find folks working together on community projects, like making blankets for charity drives. There's 24-hour security at the entrance to help everyone feel safe, and the solid concrete and steel construction gives extra peace of mind. There are 200 one- and two-bedroom units, though some three-bedroom ones exist, all for people aged 55 and older, and the place is designed to support independent senior living, but there's also help available like Assisted Living and Alzheimer's Care if you need it, and management offers support when residents have questions or want extra help. Nokomis Square Coop has a lot of options for active seniors who want independent, apartment-style living with plenty activities nearby, both natural and urban, and most daily needs are easy to get to without a car, so day-to-day life here can stay pretty simple, sociable, and comfortable.
