What is a cooperative retirement community?

There are a very few senior cooperatives in the U.S. and only two in Maryland. Cooperative senior housing is a unique option for people seeking a retirement lifestyle while maintaining control over their investment. All real property (housing and common areas) is actually owned by the corporation with a fee simple title. Membership in the corporation is achieved through the issue of a stock certificate and an Occupancy Agreement. The Londonderry co-op offers the financial benefits of real estate without the burden of home maintenance. In this corporation, co-op owners also have a say in how the community is managed and operated.

How does Londonderry pay for capital improvements?

When residents purchase or sell a home at Londonderry they pay a 3% transfer fee that goes into a capital improvements account. This fund enables Londonderry to handle unexpected maintenance issues as well as plan for future improvements. Historically, residents have never been asked to pay an additional assessment.

What does Londonderry’s meal plan include?

Each Londonderry resident participates in a monthly meal plan, which favors a “country club” plan. Lunch and dinner are available to residents six days a week, except on Sundays, when a Sunday brunch is offered. A la carte menu options are always available.

What type of transportation is available to Londonderry residents?

All transportation on campus is free and many residents take advantage of this for dining and to get to community activities. Residents are picked up at their cottage and brought to the front door of the Community Center, Clubhouse, or Manor House. Transportation is also offered during inclement weather. A nominal flat fee is charged for travel in the local area. Trips to outside areas (airport or Baltimore) are charged by the hour.

Can I bring my pet to Londonderry?

Londonderry is pet-friendly. Residents are required, however, to abide by a noise ordinance, follow the county’s leash laws, provide for pet care during vacations, provide proof their pet’s vaccinations are current, and be courteous to others living on the property.

What will be the return on my investment when I sell my Londonderry home?

As a shareholder in the co-op residents may recoup all of their initial investment, plus appreciation, dependent upon the market’s performance.
