Concord Consumer Housing

Concord Cooperative sits at 22025 Irene in Brownstown Township, Michigan, just off Dix Toledo and Carter roads. This MSHDA-financed affordable housing community has been managed by Marcus Management, Inc. since 1978, making it one of the organization's longest-running properties. The cooperative offers two- and three-bedroom townhouse units with monthly carrying charges ranging from $376 to $421, and Section 8 subsidy programs are available. With 31 reviews averaging 3.7 stars, the community serves residents seeking affordable ownership opportunities in a growing suburban area near Trenton.

What distinguishes this cooperative is its member-owned structure combined with professional management. Residents purchase equity shares rather than paying traditional rent, creating an investment opportunity rather than pure rental expense. The community maintains ties to both the Midwest Association of Housing Cooperatives and the National Association of Housing Cooperatives. Unit layouts are available for prospective members to review before applying, and a waiting list currently accepts new applications. The cooperative requires a membership application process through the resale office.

Reviewers who have lived at Concord describe varying experiences. One resident notes calling in multiple work orders over several years without being charged for maintenance unless damage was tenant-caused, and praises the central AC they chose to purchase separately. Another reviewer describes the community as safe and clean, with staff described as fair and courteous, while attributing negative reviews to residents who violated community rules or caused damage to their units. A third long-term resident calls the community nice with clean grounds and friendly people, though some reviewers describe concerns about management professionalism and community rules enforcement.
