North America’s 50th Cohousing Community is preserved in the 1917 Swan’s Market building in the historic Old Oakland neighborhood.

This historic landmark is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is part of an award-winning innovative mixed-used historic-preservation project, restoring an abandoned old market building with affordable rental apartments, a Cohousing community, retail, restaurants, offices and a courtyard.
