Our name is a reflection of where our original site was located, but we have expanded our search.

We are currently making an offer on a cohousing-friendly apartment complex with a nice courtyard, in the Eastlake neighborhood, just southleast of Lake Merritt, at 1523 and 1537 8th Ave. in Oakland. This is a culturally vibrant neighborhood close to shops, elementary schools and parks.

This is the time to secure a spot in our group at the early price.

We are a multigenerational group committed to collaboration, diversity, good communication, consensus decision-making, and respect for each other, for the earth, and for all who live on it.

To find out more see our web site and contact us at NOCJoin@yahoogroups.com.
