About Us


Located in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Stratford Townhouses Cooperative is a friendly and inclusive community that offers a unique way of living – something between renting an apartment and owning a condo.

A housing cooperative (or co-op) is a shared ownership model. Instead of buying an individual unit, members collectively own the entire property through a cooperative corporation. Each member has the right to occupy a specific townhouse and takes part in the decisions that shape the community. This approach combines the independence of home living with the shared benefits of joint ownership and maintenance.

At Stratford, members enjoy well-maintained homes, green spaces, and the ability to have a voice in how the community operates. Shared costs and responsibilities help keep the cooperative affordable and sustainable for everyone.

Beyond the practical side, what truly makes Stratford special is our sense of community. Member can join committees, help organize events, and take part in activities for all ages and interests. Everyone is encouraged to get involved and help make Stratford a great place to live.

We invite you to come see for yourself! Walk through our park-like grounds, playgrounds, community facilities or attend a Board of Directors meeting to learn how our cooperative works. If you’d like more information on availability, our office staff will be happy to assist
