We are a co-living community in Oakland. We have two rooms available now!

Euclid Manor started as a coliving house for purpose-driven people - entrepreneurs, artists, changemakers, creatives, and the like - exploring the question: what’s possible when a critical mass of passionate, committed people come together to make greater impact through our home, in our community and our work in the world?

We have a very special culture and group of people here, and we are looking for two new residents to add their own brush strokes to our canvas. ❤️

The People

Residents gathered around a laptop, gleefully reading the interest form you are about to submit...

Current residents work on creating systemic societal change, tech startups, psychotherapy, land projects, medicine, yoga, supporting indigenous communities, book writing, theatrical musicals, philosophy, typography, summer camps, journalism, social work, and more.

We are deeply committed to maintaining a nurturing, clean, supportive home. We value open and non-violent communication; we are QTPOC-welcoming; we are comfortable challenging each other’s views while respecting the sanctity and peace of home. We are silly and curious and introverts and extroverts and ambiverts. We love each other a lot.

The House

This was filmed entirely in our house five years ago. Very few of these people live here today.

The house, built in 1910, is a 13 bedroom mansion located a block north of Lake Merritt in the Adams Point neighborhood of Oakland, very close to the Grand Lake Theatre. We have a detached carriage house in the back, a basement, 2.5 kitchens, two washers, two dryers, a garage for storage, a piano, 3 fireplaces, and definitely no ghosts.

Available Rooms

We have two rooms which are now available.

Logistics

• We run a house food program that allows us to purchase local, organic, and ethically-sourced food, while also keeping a tight budget. We each contribute $250 per month each and it covers all of our house supplies, house dinners, and 80% to 100% of everyone's everyday food needs. We take turns cooking big house dinners every Sunday and Wednesday night.
• We have house meetings or activities about once a month. We like to take turns between "get stuff done" time and "just having fun" time.
• We have high standards for cleanliness. Each resident is responsible for helping with basic upkeep of the house, as well as chores that may take up to an hour a week.
• We use Slack for communication and all residents are expected to keep up-to-date with it.
• Utilities are $75/month, including everything. Move-in deposits are 1.5x rent. Couples pay $100 extra rent if they share a room. We have three driveway spots that people rent for $50/month, but none are currently available so if you have a car you’ll have to do street parking.
• Our ages range from mid-20s to early 40s. We have also had housemates in the past who are babies. We are open to living with wise elders. No pets, sorry!
