“We love the Twin Cities — especially the trails and lakes and parks. Phalen Realife has been very welcoming and caring. And financially, it’s an excellent place to be.”

“I appreciate living in a diverse ethnic community in the middle of the city, not out in some far out suburb. We can easily reach any part of the city either with our own vehicles or by public transportation. I also appreciate that the building, grounds, and garage are always clean.”

“Love this place: the underground parking (temperature controlled), friendly people, many things to do and participate in. Closeness of stores and good walking areas.”

“I have travelled back and forth from Alaska to the lower 48 and across the Lower 48. As I travelled I continued to look for an affordable place to live. This is the only place that I could afford. The bonus. . . it is near my family.”

“Phalen is Great! I am always greeted with a smile. Someone is always around to advise or help. Social activities provide opportunities to see all members, i.e. family. Building is well maintained and always clean. There is a place for all my hobbies, gardening, wood-working, sewing, exercise, etc. Everyone contributes. . . .”

“I love the Cooperative ownership model and the way it plays out here at Realife Phalen. We are all owners; we are all committed to the success of our joint home ownership and to each other.”
