Pullman Place Cooperative

Pullman Place Cooperative sits across from the Northstar Commuter Rail Transit Station in Elk River, MN, making travel to downtown Minneapolis, the Mall of America, and even the airport pretty easy, while folks who live at Pullman Place also have Tri-Cap transportation for rides around the Elk River community for a small fee. This is a 55+ cooperative living community where everyone owns a share, so folks build equity like homeowners do, and people here don't have to worry about pets since they're not allowed on the premises. The place offers different floor plans and has garage or covered parking, laundry facilities, a fitness center, a library, a media room, and a dining room, plus outdoor spaces that let people look out on kids playing, others strolling, and neighbors walking dogs, all in a friendly area close to shops, restaurants, walking paths, churches, and golf courses. Guardian Angels manage the property and give residents priority access to their range of care-including assisted living, independent living, home care, home health care (Medicare-certified), long-term skilled nursing, memory care, adult day services, and hospice care, so support's there if and when you need more help. Basic services, laundry, maintenance, parking, and dining details all get sorted with a call, and if you want lunch, the Senior Dining Site at Guardian Angels Senior Housing serves meals on weekdays for a fair price. Folks stay busy with games, social events, community-sponsored activities, and volunteering by helping nonprofits, making table favors, or working on scholarships and giveaways, which helps the sense of belonging around here. There's a focus on everyone having their own space while still being part of things, and it's common to meet neighbors and form friendships every day if you want. The cooperative has a "no risk" waiting list since there aren't open units right now, but people interested can join the list. The style of living here is straightforward-a good balance between privacy and community, with safety and comfort top of mind, and easy access not only to the building's features, but also to everyday needs and transportation options outside.
