East Bay Cohousing - Berkeley/Oakland/Emeryville/SF area

Join others seeking community living opportunities in the urban East Bay and San Francisco, member-led ecovillages, for raising kids or for retirement. Connect to cohousing neighborhoods where you can have privacy and know your neighbors, permanently-affordable housing cooperatives, and even group houses for shared living.

East Bay Cohousing (EBCOHO) is an umbrella group supporting people doing individual site-search and project-development efforts. 6 of the last 7 resales in Berkeley Cohousing, Doyle Street Cohousing in Emeryville, and Temescal Creek Cohousing in Oakland have been to EBCOHO members.

We often have more events than our MeetUp-driven home page can show effectively, so please click on our Calendar to see more and join for free to get involved. There's no charge for basic membership, but supporting members get discounts on meetings, socials, and workshops, cohousing books, and Cohousing Coaching.

There's more cohousing in Oakland than any other U.S. city, and long-established built communities in Berkeley, Emeryville, and Pleasant Hill - learn about openings and new communities that you can be a part of here; find other community seekers and join forces.

We have active groups with potential sites in North Oakland, forming groups in Fremont and the Oakland Hills, and rental/resale openings in existing communities in the area, regular tours, plus occasional field trips to the extended Bay Area, Green Festival/SolFest booths, regional gatherings and more. We're the micro-region with the most existing cohousing and the most new communities happening. Join us this month for hot events with exciting speakers and discussions. Find others who share your vision for supportive neighbors. Do it for yourself, for your family, for your parents, do it for the Earth. Make 2010 the year to find YOUR community connection.
