Parker Street Co-op Tour: 2 1BR homes available (in-person, S. Berkeley)
Details
Not quite cohousing (no Common House or common meals besides the monthly potluck, different sets of apartments have separate entrances across different buildings), but very affordable in a great location. Demand is high so expect a competitive application process. -- Raines

The Parker Street Cooperative is a 24-unit limited equity housing cooperative in Berkeley, California, established in 1988.
24 units in two buildings, convenient to BART and public transportation, on the South side of campus (close to Dwight & Telegraph) at 2335-2341 Parker Street.
The coop is owned by a non-profit corporation whose only members are its shareholder residents, and we are currently ages 30 to 92.
We buy our shares at a modest rate and agree to limits on their price when selling them later.
The current share price is about $30,600 for the 1BR share, with a monthly assessment for common expenses of about $675 for the 1BR unit. Studio share price and monthly assessment are 75% of the 1BR rates.
In addition to the refundable $30,600 share price, there is a a required one-time, nonrefundable $6,000 capital reserves contribution for incoming members.
Food is not included in the shared expenses, and we do not do shared cooking other than one shared potluck meal per month. We live simply and co-own/manage the property together to keep it affordable for us and for those who come after us.
We will be accepting applications for our two 1-bedroom membership openings until 11:59pm on November 1st, 2026.
We will also be providing two tours before then, today and Saturday the 24th.
