Halcyon Commons Cooperative Urban Block

Berkeley, California,

United States

Not cohousing but a cooperative urban block, Halcyon Commons is a park built by neighbors where there once was a

parking lot in the middle of the street. The neighborhood is about

to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the park in September. There are

regular community potlocuks, a strong crimewatch, community animal

and child gatherings in the park, a weekly email newlsetter, strong

disaster preparedness, regular community park cleanups and plantings,

concerts in the park, and other celebrations. Halcyon Commons is a way of affording something close to cohousing in Berkeley.
