Carleton Co-op is gradually transforming into a 100% smoke free Co-op; smoking is not allowed in any common area or within 25 feet of the building. There are a few members who are still permitted to smoke in their own apartments, because they signed a waiver prior to the full implementation of the new smoking rules. All new members as of March 8, 2017, are not allowed to smoke inside their own apartment. Carleton Co-op is located next to: medical offices, pharmacy, banking, post office, grocery store, restaurants, dollar store, hardware store and more. The Carleton community is considered a sleepy town with senior programs and activities in the area. Carleton is affordable for everyone. Rent is based on a percentage of the household's income.
