Cooperative living
United Laguna Woods Mutual is a non-profit cooperative housing corporation that owns and manages all real property within the original 21 cooperative mutuals. In a cooperative, residents are members of a corporation that owns all real property, including the dwelling units, carports and laundry facilities within the mutual’s boundaries, and each member is entitled to occupy a specific dwelling unit under the terms of an occupancy agreement.
As members of United Laguna Woods Mutual, each resident enters an occupancy agreement to pay a share of the property taxes, maintenance and other operating expenses. United is governed by board of directors elected by its members.
- Cooperative: 6,323 memberships
