Artist rendering of the Village Cooperative of Billings
The decision to move involves a desire to live better at this stage of your life, to have those little luxuries you’ve earned and to simplify your life for more enjoyment. Part of that pleasure comes from getting rid of the worries and hassles of that oversized, aging house that doesn’t live comfortably any longer, which likely requires quite a bit of work, repairs and money to keep up.
The Village Cooperative that is coming soon to Billings is designed to provide a maintenance-free home ownership option to active adults 62+ — working or retired — in an independent, pleasant and secure living environment. It features one bedroom, two bedroom and two bedroom with den homes with no steps within in a three-story building built over secure underground parking. This community includes many amenities including a club room, reading areas, community area with full kitchen, hobby shop, guest suite, garden plots, while-you’re-away services and underground heated parking with a car wash bay. The homes are equipped with all appliances including a washer and dryer, in-home storage, walk-in closets and individually controlled HVAC systems.

“We’ve chosen Village Cooperative as our next home because of the maintenance-free lifestyle and the security that Village Cooperative provides,” says Frank and Trudy Carey, members of the Village Cooperative of Billings. “We’ve made the decision to move for our benefit and for the benefit of our family. We look forward to being surrounded by like-minded, optimistic neighbors who look forward to active living for many years to come.”
Resident-owners, called members, find that this option fits their needs better than a single-family home, townhouse, condominium, apartment or assisted living facility. The cooperative lifestyle gives each member a standard of living, an involvement with others, and a degree of comfort and security not found in other types of housing — all for a fraction of the price of a patio- or ranch-style home. Probably the greatest difference between life in senior cooperative housing and living in other housing options is the attitude of the residents. Their attitudes reflect a sense of belonging and the underlying awareness of pleasant and secure living, reminiscent of the neighborhood where they lived and raised their families.
Construction starts soon on the Village Cooperative of Billings. Those who reserve early will be able to choose the home plan that suits their lifestyle, as well as the interior finishes for their home. The community is already over 60% sold, so those interested in learning more about this home ownership option are encouraged to do so before it’s too late.
