Austin, Texas,
United States
 The 21st Street Co-op is a clothing-optional student owned and operated housing co-operative located just a few blocks west of the University of Texas at Austin and the Drag. They are a part of the College Houses Student Cooperatives and a member of NASCO.
The 21st Street Co-op offers a unique combination of suites, walkways, balconies and landscapes. This co-op is the first building in Texas designed from the ground up to be a co-op.
Its 100 members share furnished private and double rooms joined into small suites, contributing to a close-knit community. Each suite includes a common living room, kitchenette, and semi-private baths with large windows opening out onto the front or back yards. The large common dining room serves 17 meals per week to students and vegetarian options are available.
