ABOUT

Nottingham

Founded in 1971, Nottingham is a consensus driven, community-oriented housing cooperative located on Lake Mendota in Madison, Wisconsin. When you live at Nottingham, you're part of a cooperative community working to make the house a better place to live for all of us.

 

Nottingham’s goal is to be a safe and welcoming place for women, LGBTQIA+ / GRSM (gender, romantic, & sexual minorities), people of color, and people of all ages, and economic backgrounds. We regularly host live music performances by local and touring bands for the public and occasionally have game/ movie nights for our housemates. In addition, each year around Thanksgiving, we celebrate Nottingfeast, a gathering for current and former residents, other coopers, friends, and community members. 

 

Join us for a life of uncommon quality.
