East Bay Cohousing
|
Join others organizing to create mutual housing opportunities in the urban East Bay and San Francisco, member-led ecovillages, for raising kids or for retirement. East Bay Cohousing is an umbrella group supporting people doing individual site-search and project-development efforts, linking the many built communities in the area. There's more cohousing in Oakland than any other city in the U.S., and long-established built communities in Berkeley, Emeryville, and Pleasant Hill. We have active groups with sites in North Oakland (Temescal -- resale and new build), Dimond District (N. Fruitvale), and 'Oakvale' (Emeryville/Berkeley /Oakland border), and openings in existing communities in Emeryville/North Oakland (for sale), plus occasional field trips to the extended Bay Area, a Green Festival booth, regional gatherings -- we're the micro-region with the most existing cohousing and the most new communities happening. Join us this month for hot events with exciting speakers and discussions. Find others who share your vision for supportive neighbors. Do it for yourself, do it for the Earth. Make 2008 the year to find YOUR community connection.
