Why Artessa?
Artessa is for people who are inspired to discover their art of living.
There’s an art to living. It’s doing more of what you want to do and less of what you have to do. It’s finding a community but still having your sanctuary. It’s making your space your own without starting from scratch. It’s not about having everything—it’s about having the things that matter.
Our Company
Artessa Development, an affiliate of Lifestyle Communities of Minnesota, is the developer of Artessa Cooperative Communities. This skilled group of passionate professionals brings over 50 years of combined experience financing and developing Cooperative Communities under various distinctive Cooperative brands throughout Minnesota and surrounding states. We have an extensive network of residential properties for active adults wanting maintenance-free, amenity-rich, and homeownership offerings in closely-knit lively neighborhoods.

Our community interiors and home finishing options are designed and selected by an award-winning team of designers and developers. And while we are not a custom home builder, we do feel it’s important to provide homeowners with choices that fit their style that they can get excited about.
“Our neighbors are great. And they’re already becoming real friends”
MIKE
“We’re excited (about cooperative living) because it will be different. We’ll have another family, an extended family”
MARSHA & GENE
“My excitement is in the fact that I kind of feel like we’re reverting back to doing things we’re choosing rather than a list of things that need to be done.”
