935 Ferndale St N

A mid-rise cooperative community built in 2006 and marketed to residents aged 55 and over, this complex blends traditional materials—stone, stucco, cement board and block—into a low-profile, multi-building campus. Units range from one-bedroom plus den layouts to two-bedroom, two-bath plans with screened-in decks and main-floor access in some homes. Interiors emphasize accessibility and practical living: open kitchens, generous storage and walk-in closets, in-unit laundry, tile or wood-grain flooring in service areas, and occasional den spaces that serve as offices or guest rooms. Shared spaces are plentiful and varied, including a library with fireplace, community/party room, business center, exercise room, woodworking shop, workshop, guest suite, and a staffed-feeling common area program that covers many operating costs through cooperative fees. Grounds provide a gazebo, outdoor patio and grill areas, garden views, and proximity to the Maplewood Nature Center and neighborhood shopping. Parking is handled through leased garage stalls and surface parking with an on-site carwash. The cooperative structure emphasizes maintenance-free, social living for older adults: monthly fees are comprehensive—often including taxes and many utilities—while unit owners trade some individual control for building-managed upkeep and communal amenities.
