Tours

• Our Monthly Tour - We conduct regularly scheduled tours on the first Sunday of each month (with some exceptions if it's a holiday weekend or no one has signed up). The tour starts at 2:00 pm and takes about an hour depending on the size of the group. It's recommended that you wear shoes that are easy to take on and off, as some areas of our community are "shoeless" and the tour goes more smoothly if we don't have to spend too much time dealing with shoes on and off. Please contact us to let us know you're coming. We recommend coming on a tour as your first step if you want to be on our List of Interested People.
• Cohousing Association Bus Tour - We are also one of the stops on the Bay Area bus tour that takes place 3-4 times a year. These bus tours are a unique and wonderful opportunity to see several cohousing communities all in the same day, meet other people interested in cohousing, and meet and talk with the tour leader who is an experienced cohouser. More information is on the Cohousing Association website.

Map & Directions

Directions From Berkeley: Take 24 East towards Walnut Creek. When it meets 680, take 680 North. Take the Monument Blvd. exit and at the end of the exit ramp turn right onto Monument. Go straight through the light at Buskirk and then immediately a right on Marcia (just before the Food Shop/VALERO station) and QUICK left onto Lisa Lane. Go to the end of the street (it dead-ends at Fair Oaks Elementary School) and we're on the left (easy to spot - we're the mango-colored buildings).

(view from Lisa Lane)

NOTE: There is a newly refurbished apartment complex (Garden Park Apartments) also on our street, also on the left, also painted a mango-ish color! We are beyond that, at the end of the street, right before the school.

Park in the gravel area outside the fence that runs alongside our driveway. Don't worry about the no parking sign -- it's ok to park there. Walk up the driveway to the Common House, or walk around to the back of the building.
