We are a group of people dedicated to social justice and joy sharing a house in the Uptown neighborhood at 1430 W. Leland.

There is no landlord – everyone who lives here is a partial owner of the house. Each person has an equal say in how the house is run and shares responsibility for keeping the house in good condition.

Members pay monthly charges that cover the house mortgage payment and other expenses.

Call or email for more information or to stop by for dinner!

A New Housing Cooperative is Taking Root in Chicago!

Bluestem Cooperative is designed to be an affordable community of homeowners.  We wish to build on our existing diverse community of individuals and families who support one another, share resources, and act together on our vision of a just world.

We are looking for at least 2 – 3 more households to join our group.  Each of the member households will occupy individual apartments and will share the ownership and management of the property.  There is a lot of work involved in starting a new cooperative.  All members are expected to actively participate in the development and operation of the cooperative.

Initial share prices are projected to be between $20,000 and $30,000.  We are working to keep monthly costs between $1,000 and $1,400 per apartment.

Bluestem is structured as a limited-equity cooperative in an effort to maintain permanently affordable housing for future residents.  The value of each share can increase over time, but this equity increase is restricted by the by-laws.

To learn more about Bluestem, please contact Jennie at jellynn@yahoo.com or 773-879-5584.

UPDATE: Our unit has been filled. Feel free to contact us if you’d like to be added to our waiting list.

Our cooperative will have a 1 bedroom unit available in the coming months. Find out more.
