🌿 Join Our Cooperative Housing Community – Be Part of Something Bigger 🌿

Are you looking for more than just a place to live? Do you want to be part of a community where your time and skills truly matter? We will have a 4 ½ in semi-basement available for September 1st, 2025, and an upper 5 ½ on top floor available this October or November 2025.

We are currently seeking committed individuals to join our cooperative housing community in Lachine. Our co-op thrives on active participation, collaboration, and mutual respect — and we’re looking for new members who are ready to contribute meaningfully and help grow our cooperative with us.

⚠️ Priority will be given to applicants who have previously lived in a cooperative and held a position on the Board of Directors. Your experience and leadership are highly valued and essential to our growth. ⚠️

🏡 What We Offer:

• Our cooperative is in Lachine; the beautiful waterfront is only down the street. There are bike paths, walking trails, green spaces for picnics or simply relaxing. There are two banks, 2 depanneurs, a hairdresser, and a veterinary clinic within 2 minutes walking distance. There are numerous bus lines around us that can take you to the metro, bus station, train station, downtown, the West Island, etc. We are very well located between the West Island and downtown, with access to major highways and close to Dorval Airport.

• A chance to live in a community that values your contributions and where your efforts make a real difference.

• Exceptionally Affordable Rent: Prices that are well below market rates — a rare find in today’s housing market.

• 4 ½ Apartment: Located in the semi-basement with windows at waist height, offering lots of natural light and large rooms. The kitchen is small, but the living room is large enough to accommodate a kitchen table.

• 5 ½ Apartment: Located on the top floor (please note: 2 flights of stairs, no elevator).

⚠️ Important note: Our buildings are older and not soundproof. If you are looking for a modern, luxury apartment, this may not be the right fit. ⚠️

If you’re ready to give your time, share your skills, and build something meaningful, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today and become part of a community that works together, grows together, and supports one another.

Please send an email to: coopbordlachine@gmail.com to request an application form.
