Omega House
Minneapolis, Minnesota,
United States
 The Omega House is a unique co-op located south of downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. Our co-op, short for cooperative, is an intentional community striving to live well together. Omega House has been a co-op since 1968.
We share maintenance responsibilities and costs, collectively buy organic food, and operate according to flexible principles of consensus.
Residents must be financially able to contribute equitably, willing to take on a share of home-ownership responsibilities, and willing and able to engage with others in meetings and in a living situation.
Residents have private bedrooms, and all other rooms and spaces are shared.
