Realife Cooperative

A Cooperative Retirement Community
A Quality, Affordable Housing and Life-Style Alternative for People 62 Years and Older.


Welcome to a future at the Realife Cooperative of Denison, a spectacular apartment complex of active people 62 years and older! Beautifully designed and landscaped, it is a welcome addition to the "Realife Family".

There's more, much more. Realife Cooperatives provide a community of  friends, the support of people 
who care, and the security you so richly deserve. Make plans for your future, now!

A sharp increase in the older population, specifically in the midwest, is creating new challenges
and opportunities for development of programs and housing to meet the changing needs of this 
segment of the population.

Realife Cooperatives are an exciting and experienced-based program for dealing with this
segment's housing and related life style needs. The program was implemented by REALIFE
Development Services Inc., which was located, at the time, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Financing of Realife Cooperatives is provided by members providing equity (through their
share purchases), together with blanket mortgage for the project. Cooperative members, in effect,
are their own landlord, thereby enabling the cooperative to be built and operated at an affordable cost.
Because of the requirements of the mortgage program, each project must conform to quality,
approval, and operational standards established by HUD.

By combining the economics of cooperative ownership with programs, designs and costs which
meet the needs of the elderly population - today, and in the future, REALIFE Cooperatives
is the answer for today's retirees!
