Yahara Linden Cooperative

Yahara Linden Cooperative Yahara Linden Coop is a housing cooperative committed to fairness, diversity, and ecological responsibility.

We share a large 100-year-old house in the Atwood neighborhood in Madison, Wisconsin. Located near bus lines and bike paths, our house is a short walk from the nearest food co-op, local hardware store, and bicycle repair shop. A full house is usually six adults plus some children and animals. Our members tend to stay a while but we typically have at least one opening per year so please inquire at

any time if you are interested in learning if we have an opening. People of all backgrounds, ages, and family types are encouraged to apply. Unfortunately our old house is not as accessible as it should be, and the majority of our rooms, and both of the entrances, can only be accessed by stairs.

We have an opening! 🥳

A second-floor single will be available on September 15th (flexible move in date). Total cost is $600/month and includes food, internet, and all utilities. People of all backgrounds, ages, and family types are encouraged to apply.

Yahara Linden is a small independent co-op founded in 1973, located in the cute and tranquil Atwood neighborhood of Madison, Wisconsin. As a co-op we share chores and other house responsibilities, and take it upon ourselves as individuals and a group to make sure we have a smoothly functioning home where everyone feels safe and supported.

We have a weekly house dinner together on Sundays. The responsibility of cooking is rotated between all members, so you would be expected to cook every seven weeks. We purchase vegetarian food but those who wish to buy/cook meat on their own are welcome to do so. We also value sustainability and have a communal garden.

There are currently 7 adults, a toddler, a cat, and an older dog living at Yahara Linden. The most senior of us has lived here 8 years; the most junior has lived here a little over a year. Our hobbies include entertaining a toddler, high-lining, juggling, running, ecstatic dance, long walks to various parks around town, gardening, circus arts, foraging, biking, board games, acroyoga, sharing weekend pancakes, handstands, and bookclubs.

The membershipping process involves filling out a questionnaire, having 3 meals with the house, and then a house vote to make a membership decision. If you are interested or know someone who is, please email us at [email protected]!
