Village Cooperative of Crow Creek

Independent Assessment

The age threshold and ownership structure here are both well corroborated: the cooperative's own listing states the 62-and-older requirement directly and explicitly distinguishes the community from assisted living by noting no meals, transportation, or medical services are provided. The one genuine loose end is the address itself -- sources split between a Bettendorf and a Davenport designation for the same physical building at 4700 Village Drive, a border-area quirk rather than a substantive eligibility or ownership question. Buyers should not read the Davenport postal label as meaning the community sits in a different jurisdiction than Bettendorf/Scott County for the purposes of this site's geography; both cities are in Scott County, and the cooperative's own name and most local coverage tie it to the Crow Creek area associated with Bettendorf.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Buyers specifically seeking a 62-and-older environment, and who want clear evidence a community is genuinely an independent-living ownership product rather than a care facility despite similar-sounding marketing language ('independent living community'), are a strong fit here. The 'first of its kind in the Quad Cities' history may also appeal to buyers interested in an established, locally rooted cooperative rather than a newer, less-tested development.

Homes, Builders & Development History

Village Cooperative of Crow Creek was established in 2016 as, per local coverage, the first cooperative of its kind in the Quad Cities. It offers one- and two-bedroom homes under the Village Cooperative brand's standard model. The exact total unit count was not independently confirmed; buyers should request this directly from the cooperative's management.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

Current share pricing and resale-market data for this location remain unconfirmed. Buyers should request current pricing and any waitlist status directly from the cooperative's management.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

This is an established cooperative dating to 2016 rather than an active new-construction site; availability turns on unit turnover and any waitlist. Buyers should ask the cooperative's management directly about current openings.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Homes here are subject to Scott County, Iowa property tax administration; buyers should confirm the current effective rate directly with the Scott County Assessor. Iowa Code Section 216.12 provides a separate exemption prong specifically for housing occupied solely by persons 62 or older, which carries no facilities-and-services requirement -- a framework that, if applicable here, sits on firmer statutory ground than the state's 55+ exemption prong discussed elsewhere in this state's overview; buyers relying on this for compliance purposes should verify the current statutory text directly. As a cooperative-share purchase, property tax and insurance treatment differs from a conventional deeded purchase; buyers should ask the cooperative's management how both are handled within the monthly carrying cost.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

As the Quad Cities' first cooperative of its kind, Village Cooperative of Crow Creek offers the brand's standard single-building, maintenance-free lifestyle: a community room, club room, woodworking shop, and garden plots under one roof, with no meals or transportation services woven into daily life the way a care-inclusive facility would offer. That distinction matters for how residents should think about day-to-day life here -- this is independent ownership with shared amenities, not a service-supported living arrangement.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

Village Cooperative of Crow Creek sits in the Crow Creek area of the Bettendorf/Davenport border in Scott County, part of the Quad Cities metro. Its official street address carries a Davenport, IA postal designation even though the community is closely associated with Bettendorf in local coverage; buyers should confirm the practical municipal services and school-district implications, if relevant, directly with Scott County. Specific drive times to Quad Cities shopping, medical facilities, or the Mississippi riverfront were not independently confirmed; buyers should confirm these directly with a local agent.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

The cooperative's own listing states plainly that it is 'an independent living community for adults 62 and older,' offering 'one and two bedroom homes for active adults, 62+.' This 62-year threshold is specific to this Bettendorf/Crow Creek location and should not be assumed to apply at other Iowa Village Cooperative locations: several sibling locations elsewhere in the state, including Cedar Rapids and Cedar Falls, instead use a 55-and-older threshold. The listing also explicitly notes no meals, transportation, or medical services are offered, reinforcing that this is an ownership product rather than a care facility despite the 'independent living community' phrasing sometimes associated with senior-care marketing.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

The exact unit count, current share price, and current monthly carrying-cost amount were not confirmed; buyers should request all three directly from the cooperative's management. Because no meals, transportation, or medical services are offered, buyers who anticipate needing any of those supports in the near term should evaluate this community specifically as an independent-living ownership product, not a care-inclusive setting, and plan accordingly for how those needs would be met if they arise.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Compared with the brand's other Iowa locations -- Cedar Rapids, Sioux City, Cedar Falls, Mason City, Ames, and Asbury -- Crow Creek shares its 62-and-older threshold with Sioux City, Mason City, and Ames, distinct from the 55+ threshold confirmed at Cedar Rapids and Cedar Falls.

Current Listings

A connected local agent, or the cooperative's own management, can confirm current unit openings, share pricing, and the current monthly carrying-cost figure at Village Cooperative of Crow Creek.

What is the age requirement at Village Cooperative of Crow Creek?

62 and older. The cooperative's own listing describes it as an independent living community for adults 62 and older, with one- and two-bedroom homes for active adults 62+ -- a stricter threshold than the 55+ figure confirmed at several sibling Village Cooperative locations elsewhere in Iowa.

Is this a care facility?

No. The cooperative explicitly offers no meals, transportation, or medical services -- it is a genuine ownership and independent-living product, not an assisted-living or memory-care facility, despite the phrase 'independent living community' sometimes being associated with senior-care marketing elsewhere.

Is this community in Bettendorf or Davenport?

Sources vary: the community sits in the Crow Creek area near the Bettendorf-Davenport line in Scott County, and is closely associated with Bettendorf in local coverage, but its official street address carries a Davenport, IA postal designation on some records. Both cities are in Scott County, so this is a postal-labeling quirk rather than a substantive jurisdictional question.

How long has the community been established?

Since 2016, when local coverage describes it as the first cooperative of its kind in the Quad Cities.
