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:

• 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:

• Berkeley Cohousing, which has a rare short-term rental available and a home for sale nextdoor.
• Golden Gate Cohousing (unconfirmed), an all-rental affordable community near Emeryville
• Radish, an innovative coliving/cohousing blend in North Oakland.
• Pleasant Hill Cohousing, doing their last in-person tour of the year
• Kingfisher Cohousing, which has two long-term rentals currently available in the Fruitvale neighborhood of Oakland.
• (unconfirmed) Earth Weave Collective, pioneering legal Tiny Homes on Wheels in a village in West Oakland
• Richmond Tiny House Village, Farm and Community, a nearly-completed neighborhood serving homeless youth.

And we're working on scheduling more, you can pick and choose throughout the day and find your own way by carpool/rideshare, BART, and/or bike.
