The GOLDENSpaces

Legacy Housing Membership for Active and Productive Women

Why is there a need for
The GOLDENSpaces?

For far too long, women over 55 have been overlooked when it comes to innovative housing solutions that truly understand our needs. GOLDENSpaces isn't just about providing a place to live - it's about creating vibrant communities where we can thrive, grow, and support each other. As someone who has faced health challenges and experienced the power of positive thinking and community support, I know firsthand how crucial it is to have a living environment that fosters connection, purpose, and well-being. GOLDENSpaces fills a critical gap, offering women in their golden years a chance to age with dignity, independence, and joy, surrounded by like-minded friends who become family. It's not just housing; it's a revolution in how we approach the later chapters of our lives.

    similar to a condominium as a way to provide for common

  • Ownership comes by purchasing shares of stock of the corporation that owns the lands and the buildings. At the time of purchase, you also receive a modified life estate in a unit that grants you the right to live there for the rest of your life, or until your health or living conditions change, necessitating additional care. When that occurs, the corporation will exercise its option to buy back your shares, or require you to transfer your shares by sale, donation, or will, to another qualified individual.

  • The corporation shares may be bequeathed.

  • Your unit occupancy rights could be added to the rental pool and your daughter could benefit from rental income until she is ready to move in. The unit would be managed by the Golden Spaces Community.

  • Financing is available for your stock purchase, subject to borrower qualifications.

  • Floor plan changes are not allowed, but decorating options will be available, including the opportunity to upgrade many items.

  • Golden Spaces will reserve a buy back option on all sold units to facilitate an easy and quick ownership change.
