View Point Cooperative is a resident-owned manufactured home community in Swanzey, New Hampshire. We are a terrific neighborhood for people who like a suburban setting that’s an easy drive to Keene.
We offer a host of community activities, from community-wide yard sales and Christmas parties to block parties and summer barbecues. We also have the “wow factor.” People from nearby manufactured home communities drive through View Point, and always say, “Wow!” …our community looks the way they wish theirs did.
View Point is owned by the co-op members who live here — we are a resident-owned community (ROC). That means we control the rent and make the rules. In 2008, we formed the View Point Cooperative and, on Dec. 23, 2008, the Cooperative purchased the land and infrastructure, such as the roads and water lines. Now, a democratically elected board of directors manages the business of running View Point Cooperative. Every member household in the community has a say in who sits on that board, how we spend our money, the annual budget, and whether we make changes to the rent.
We’re also part of a national network of almost 200 ROCs just like us. That membership provides us with access to expert coaching on how to run our ROC, leadership development and training, communications with dozens of community leaders who face many of the same issues we do, and more. Life in View Point is truly different than in a commercially owned community – we invite you to find out first-hand how that difference makes living here so much better.
Ask anyone who lives in View Point Cooperative, and we’re sure they’ll tell you it’s a little slice of heaven.
