About Us

Gracious Living in Natural Beauty

Located on 12 beautiful wooded acres along the bluffs of the Mississippi River, Becketwood is the ideal place for active, independent people who enjoy the best of the Twin Cities.

Here, you are within 15 minutes of both downtowns and the International Airport, with easy access to prime venues like the Xcel Center in St. Paul or the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis.

Living in the Active Present

Becketwood can provide the opportunity for a life with all the ease, convenience and security you have worked hard to achieve. Becketwood offers you an excellent home for living in the active present. With its turrets, gables and pitched roof design, Becketwood has the charm of a country estate, nestled among its own private woods. Footpaths, picnic areas and biking trails are in close proximity.

At Becketwood you will find neighbors with many interests in common. Opportunities for treasured friendships will develop among a wonderful community of people, while you will be free to set your own pace, preserve your own lifestyle.

Cooperative

Owning a membership in a housing cooperative is different from owning a condominium. In a condominium, each owner has legal title to an individual unit and an interest in the common spaces of the condo building. In a cooperative, a member holds title to a share of the entire project.

Governance of the cooperative is vested in a democratically elected board of directors. Each membership is entitled to one vote in the affairs of the cooperative.

Becketwood is a Member-owned, self-governed, market-rate cooperative. Becketwood's return on investment is determined by the market value appreciation of the total unit value, which is the amount the Member pays when he or she purchases a membership.
