5650 Boone Ave N

A mid-rise cooperative complex built in 2005 and located in the Minneapolis suburb of New Hope, this community was developed specifically for active adults 55 and over. The property is composed of residential floors with predominantly two-bedroom apartment-style co-op units that emphasize low-maintenance living; exterior cladding combines cement board, stone, stucco and vinyl. Interiors typically offer open-concept living, hardwood or laminate floors, 9-foot ceilings on some levels, in-unit laundry, walk-in closets, private decks or patios, and two-bath layouts in many plans. Common areas are extensive and intentionally social: a large community room, library with fireplace, game room, computer room, conference room, workshop/woodshop, and dedicated fitness area. Outdoor features include grounds with gardens and a butterfly garden, patio seating with grills, and accessible walking paths. Practical resident services include a staffed management team, underground heated parking with assigned stalls and a hot-water car wash bay, guest suite rental, building security, on-site storage, and group programming (exercise, crafts, community meals). Monthly cooperative fees are comprehensive, often covering property taxes, water/sewer, heat, trash, phone, internet/cable, building and in-unit maintenance, and exterior grounds care, leaving residents responsible primarily for electricity and any upgraded services.
