Polaris

A brand-new cooperative endeavor in 2025, Polaris Cooperative is located on 2.5 acres of land nestled in a wooded valley right in the heart of Grand Rapids. The property has a large 1890s home with 6 bedrooms and another building with 5 additional rooms and 4,000 sq. ft. of unfinished space for us to fill with our collective dreams.

Polaris Cooperative members foster connections to themselves, their neighbors, and their natural environment. Through inclusive, cooperative living, Polaris promotes the joy, health, growth, and resilience of its members and the broader community. Its members aim to support the resilience of Belknap Lookout and the greater Grand Rapids community by providing a sustainable, cooperative, and affordable housing alternative that connects residents to each other, their neighborhood, and their environment.
