Ant Hill Cooperative

Rochester, New York,

United States

(Plymouth-Exchange Neighborhood)

Ant Hill is a housing cooperative in Rochester, NY. As a community living environment created for the benefit of its members, Ant Hill is dedicated to a new type of community in Rochester based on better lives by working together.

We aim to be a supportive, affordable, and ecologically responsible home for our members. By splitting chores, buying in bulk, doing work ourselves, and dividing costs between many people, we can live a high quality life for less. We strive to be a place for the exchange of ideas, building community, and the incubation of creative projects.
