What is Independent Living?

Independent Living is designed to enhance individuals well-being and ensure a rich life experience by promoting a personalized lifestyle and social interaction with other seniors. It offers comfortable living with the companionship of friends and the freedom to spend your time doing the things that you enjoy most. Independent Living is apartment style living where individuals can live without health care providers on staff.

Realife Cooperative is a unique form of home ownership that consists of 27 spacious apartments. Members (tenants) of the Cooperative purchase a share in the cooperative, giving them the right to live in the development. In other words, those living in the apartments are members who ‘own’ the building. The corporation is governed by its members through their elected Board of Directors with input from resident committees and Eventide as a Management Agent. Share prices and monthly fees vary depending on individual apartment size. By combining economics, tenants have the security and maintenance free living at a reduced cost of living.

At Realife, you receive a fixed amount of appreciation for each year you live in the cooperative. This annual appreciation is added to the member’s original share price to determine the selling price of the unit. This keeps prices affordable for initial as well as future members.
