Orton Cooperative House

Madison, Wisconsin,

United States

Orton Co-op, at 1239 Spaight Street, is a beautiful two-story house with seven bedrooms. The house has original woodwork, three porches, and a backyard with a raised-bed garden. Storage space is available in a large, easily accessible attic.

We are in a quiet, progressive area in the heart of the Marquette-Williamson neighborhood. The house is a half-block from Orton Park with many amazing trees, one block from Willy Street Co-op, and one block from Lake Monona. Public transportation and bike paths are located nearby.

Currently, we are eight adults and one child. All of us are brand new members of Orton Co-op as of September 2008, but among the seven of us, we have decades of co-op living experience. Our ages range from late twenties to early fifties.

We are a beautiful and dynamic community that is child-friendly. Our house is clean, cozy, and eco-friendly. We want to live with people who are more than just housemates but rather part of a bigger family that is supportive of personal growth.
