As a cooperative, we differ significantly from other housing and apartments. Each member at Orchard Glen has a vested interest in the property and pays monthly carrying charges instead of rent. Carrying charges represent the estimated actual expenses (no profit) to be incurred in the coming year. Accordingly, each member household can contribute to the overall success of Orchard Glen by helping to minimize costs. This will, in turn, help keep the carrying charges as low as possible.
The cooperative principle also means that the cooperative as a whole will not bear the expenses associated with one particular member. For example, the cooperative will absorb routine painting costs associated with “normal wear and tear”. This is based on the assumption that your home will require one coat of paint.
Orchard Glen is governed by an elected Board of Directors, the majority of whom are Orchard Glen members.
Orchard Glen is a quiet community in a park-like setting. Orchard Glen is part of the Bloomington city bus line, providing easy access to public transportation. We are only minutes from shopping, movie theaters and grocery stores.
Orchard Glen has numerous playgrounds, public basketball courts, private patios and many other features to help provide a safe and convenient environment for all members of your family to have fun and enjoy life.
