East Bay Cohousing

Part of National Cohousing Week (organized by the National Cohousing Association)

and Affordable Housing Month in the East Bay (organized by East Bay Housing Organizations)

Come see what it looks like to live in cohousing neighborhoods in the East Bay:

• Visit sustainable intentional communities in the Berkeley-Oakland area.
• See how they blend privacy and community, with individual homes plus a Common House.
• Get a taste of what it's like to dine together, with regular common meals.
• Learn about each community's unique design, how it came together, and the innovative approaches to affordability, diversity, inclusion, and sustainability each embodies.
• Find out how to learn about future openings in these communities and new ones in formation in the area and beyond.

Free and open to all; individual communities may have refreshments for sale or other opportunities to support them or their members work.

Led by East Bay Cohousing, the regional umbrella network for cooperative community living, in partnership with EBHO, the National Cohousing Association (Coho/US), the Bay Area Cooperative Housing Network, Bay Area Community Land Trust (BACLT), and more.

Note: The listed location is where the event starts, and will only be open 9-11 AM. Please do not come in except during listed hours. Please RSVP on the event website to get sent details on when and where other communities will open their doors.

BYO transportation. At the starting spot, please don't use the parking lot; bicycle parking is available to the right of the Common House and the AC Transit 88 bus stops out front (North Berkeley BART is 5 blocks away).

No pets, service animals, or smoking onsite. Access to the Common House requires climbing three steps (we're working on getting a ramp in soon!)
