Old Town In Town Cooperative

Minneapolis, Minnesota,

United States

Our five Elliot Park brownstones were built in 1892 to accommodate Minneapolis' rapidly growing population of the late 1800s and came to be known as Linne Flats (pronounced lyn-NAY), after developer Frank J. Linne. As a part of the Ninth Street Historic District, Old Town In Town Cooperative is a locally certified historic district and among the oldest apartment buildings in Minneapolis. Fully renovated in 1999 the cooperative offers affordable downtown living with rich architectural heritage.

I moved into Old Town In Town Cooperative in July of 2011. I have now been living here for 6 months. I love the cooperative spirit and have recently joined the Board due to a vacancy. I had my own garden last year and have been helping set up community spaces in the basements for yoga, a bike shop, and a wood shop. Our neighbors are friendly and helpful, and we watch out for each others' well-being. I love owning my beautiful unit and participating in such a great community.
