Laguna Woods Village is organized into 4 mutual housing corporations. 1) The Golden Rain Foundation is responsible for shared amenities ( clubhouses, pools, etc. ) 2) The Third Laguna Woods (Third or Condos) includes just over 6,000 condominiums. 3) United Laguna Woods Mutual (COOPs) is a stock cooperative with just over 6,000 cooperative units. 4) Laguna Woods Mutual No. Fifty (Towers) is just over 300 units located in the 2 Laguna Woods Towers. We manage in both the Condo and Coop communities, but the not in the Towers.

Two important distinctions are Condos and Coops. Condominiums have simpler ownership, maintenance and financing. Coops are memberships in a stock cooperative with stronger controls implemented by the mutual. Financing is more difficult, the mutual has more maintenance responsibilties depending on previous improvements made to the property, imposes more restrictions on ownership and renting of manors. Cooperatives are great investments but require a bit more knowledge to achieve financial success.
