About the community:
Swan's Market Cohousing is a small, gated community, off the street and quiet. It is an urban Cohousing community with 20 units and about 32 residents ranging in age from a newborn to 80+. We are located in the preserved and retrofitted historic 1917 Swan's Market building in the historic Old Oakland neighborhood. All the traditional components of Cohousing are active here including common meals 3x/week, monthly work parties, and neighbors helping neighbors. Participation and engagement in the community is high. People share food, tools, time, friendship, resources, and skills.
Located on 9th and Clay, it is 2 blocks from BART, has a Walkability Score of 95/100, just about every service you can imagine within a few blocks including a grocery store, and Farmers Market sets up in the street out front on Fridays. Though urban, the outdoor space, or "Swan's Way” central corridor is generously planted with an array of fruit trees, vegetables, and artful patio gardens.
Community amenities include common house with commercial kitchen, kids play room, workout room, laundry room, workshop, community garden, guest room, solar panels, and large patio for dining/entertaining.
Who you are...
We are looking for a person or a family who will be great community member(s). Trustworthy, a good neighbor, friendly, and able to participate in cohousing activities including weekly common meals (optional to eat, expected to cook once every 5-6 weeks), monthly work parties, and participation in at least one committee. In exchange, you’ll discover a mini-village that will feel like a quaint and peaceful retreat to come home to every day right in the middle of downtown Oakland!
We are looking for people who will enjoy living and contributing to a wonderful community. If you are interested, please email unitv@swansway.com a paragraph about your household, where you are currently living and what draws you to Cohousing/Swan's Market Cohousing.
