45th St. Artists Coop affordable LIVE/WORK UNIT for sale:Open Houses(Emeryville)

http://www.emeryvilleartistscoop.org/images/45th-St-Logo.jpgAn amazing 40-year old coop; this isn't an intentional community, but it is self-governing and self-managed. These folks pioneered artists live-work cooperatives in the East Bay. They've worked out many governing kinks, and have created common gardens and porches in the middle of industrial E'ville. As part of a deal with the city, in exchange for their original CDBG grant/loan, members give art classes in the public schools. All members must income-qualify at move-in, similar to Mariposa Grove and Berkeley Cohousing. We won't be there the first weekend, but will stop by the second.
