Cooperative
Living

The Warren brothers'
idea was for each building to incorporate as
a separate cooperative, and the first two
buildings followed this plan. Because of the
Great Depression, however, they had to rent
out units in the remaining buildings for
most of the 1930s. In 1939, these combined
to form Tilden Gardens, Inc. For a gallery

About Tilden
Gardens
 ince
the 1930s, Tilden
Gardens has enjoyed a
well-deserved reputation as
one of Washington, DC’s finest
residences. One of the “grande
dames” of upper Connecticut Avenue, the six-building
Cleveland Park complex offers
its residents gracious living
characteristic of an earlier
era among landscaped gardens
unrivaled elsewhere in the
city, and just two blocks from
the Cleveland Park Metro.
The 170 apartments at
Tilden Gardens range in size
from 743 square feet for the
smallest one-bedroom unit to
1,714 square
feet for the largest
three-bedroom unit, although
one unusual apartment that
occupies space formerly
reserved for a restaurant
measures 3,500 square feet. The buildings were
planned to ensure that each
unit enjoys at least two
exposures, and most have
three. Period details include
hardwood floors, arched
doorways and nine-foot
ceilings.
Tilden
Gardens employs a general
manager as well as all
necessary support staff. Front desk
service for the entire
cooperative is available seven
days a week from 7 a.m. to 11
p.m. at 3000 Tilden Street.
The front desk accepts
deliveries on behalf of
residents and monitors access
to units by service people at
the request of owners. Each
individual building has a
resident janitor. In addition,
all buildings have free, on-site
laundry facilities, security
cameras at entrances and
keyless entry. Tilden
Gardens also features on-site
garage and outdoor parking
spaces, a
community party room and seven
hobby rooms for use by
shareholders, and three
reduced-rate guest suites for
use by their guests. In
addition, there are private,
secure storage areas and
bicycle storage on the
premises.
Tilden
Gardens is owned
cooperatively. Unlike a
condominium association, a
cooperative corporation owns
the building, land, apartments
and all common elements.
Owners in our four buildings
purchase shares in Tilden
Gardens, Inc., a non-profit
corporation, and in return
secure the right to occupy
their units and to elect
members of the Board of
Directors, who oversee the
business, property and affairs
of the corporation.
Co-operative ownership
provides similar tax benefits
to other forms of home
ownership; deductions are
passed through to individual
unit owners in proportion to
their ownership interests.
