East Bay Cohousing Crawl (in-person)

Come see what it looks like to live in cohousing neighborhoods in the East Bay on a self-guided tour.

Today's the day*! Open times and locations now posted on the East Bay Cohousing (EBCOHO) website! You can add all open houses to your calendar, or click on them to add them individually. Ones marked "kick-off" will have light refreshments available, while supplies last. Please only visit during the listed hours.*

• Visit sustainable intentional communities in the Berkeley-Oakland-Pleasant Hill 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 current and future openings in these communities and new ones in formation in the area and beyond.

Led by East Bay Cohousing, the regional umbrella network for cooperative community living. The morning discussion at Berkeley Cohousing includes a preview of the Cohousing and Beyond Summit the next day in Sacramento.

Communities on the crawl include:

• *** Golden Gate Cohousing, an all-rental affordable community near Emeryville (9 am - 10:30 am, a great place to start your day)
• Berkeley Cohousing, which has a rare short-term rental available and a home for sale nextdoor (9:30 am - 11:30 am)
• Radish, an innovative coliving/cohousing blend in North Oakland (3-5 pm, a great place to wrap up your crawl)
• *** Parker Street Coop, an affordable cohousing-style community in South Berkeley near campus (10 am - 12 pm)
• Pleasant Hill Cohousing, doing their last in-person tour of the year (1:30-2:30 pm, so don't be late! RSVP separately to get parking instructions and other important info)
• Kingfisher Cohousing, which has two long-term rentals currently available in the Fruitvale neighborhood of Oakland (11 am - 2 pm)
• Earth Weave Collective, pioneering legal Tiny Homes on Wheels in a village in West Oakland (5-6 pm, last stop for the day)
• *** Richmond Tiny House Village, Farm and Community, a nearly-completed neighborhood serving homeless youth (9 am - 4 pm, a workday but you are welcome to come learn about and support their work, and this another good place to start, not far from Richmond BART. EBCOHO has been a longtime partner)
