Hidden Creek Cohousing

Oakland, California,

United States

We are a small, urban, retrofit cohousing community, with four units on a half acre in the Fruitvale neighborhood of Oakland, California. We share weekly meals, frequent celebrations, and not-quite-monthly work parties. We also a share a laundry room, bike storage, tools, and a large (though new) organic garden. We completed our condo conversions (meaning all members now own their own units) in October, 2007.
