About Escher - Intentional Community Living in A2

Escher Cooperative House is a part of the Inter-Cooperative Council in Ann Arbor. Escher is located right on North Campus, a 10 minute walk to Pierpont Commons and has a U-M bus stop right out front. Escher is known for its amazing food and chef (all included in the price listed already!), its amazing nature and yard (gopher and chipmunks for days), and having bonfires in the Summer and Fall months. The cost already includes food (groceries, produce, meat and vegan protein options, bread, rice, staples, snacks, everything you would need always available to you!), dinners prepared by a chef on weekdays and hot dinners on weekends, utilities (fiber optic internet, parking, free laundry and detergent, toilet paper, cleaning products, and more), and a furnished room (bed, dresser, desk, wardrobe, and chair). With all these things covered, it is completely possible to fully survive on just your house charges and not have to spend an additional cent. Also, the ICC offers 4 month Spring/Summer (May-August) leases and 8 month Fall/Winter (September-April) leases, so if you don't live here during the summer, you don't have to sign a 12 month contract and pay for a place you aren't living in! We have some availability for contracts with non-standard lease lengths (such as a Fall only contract). This house is divided into suites (hallways) of 16 to 20 people; each suite has a TV lounge/living room, kitchen, four showers, and 4 toilet rooms. These arrangements facilitate social interactions and make a small community for those who want it. The building was designed and built by previous co-op students and opened in 1970. Every member is expected to do approximately 3 hours of chores a week. Chores can be helping the chef with dinner, cleaning a living room, vacuuming a hallway, or having a leadership position. Leadership positions could be planning social events, being a house treasurer, going to board meetings, etc. Please check out our website for more information about the Inter-Cooperative Council and Escher House! *360 Tour: bit.ly/EscherTour360 *Pet Friendly Suites include Falstaff, Karma, Russel, and Valhalla

    I've lived here for 2 years now and I absolutely love it! HOWEVER! Escher is NOT a regular apartment. There are chores that you are REQUIRED to do, and the only space you don't share with other people is a size single room. This works great for some people, me included, but others not so much. If you're at all interested in living here, PLEASE take a tour first!

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on scale of 1 (below average) and to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider needs as part of the school selection process.
