Intentional communities, cooperatives and shared living houses near campus will open their doors for self-guided tours this Sunday from noon to 4 p.m.
The third annual open house will give the public an opportunity to explore six different alternative housing options, including the Duma Community (2244 Alder St.), Walnut Street Cooperative (1680 Walnut St.), Maitreya Ecovillage (882 Almaden), 40th Ave. House (550 E. 40th Ave.), Tiara St. intentional neighborhood (935 Tiara St.) and the Students’ Cooperative Association (1648, 1670 and 1790 Alder St.).
Members will be available at each location to give tours and answer questions.
Allen Hancock, a resident of the Duma Community, said community living is affordable and frees up more money for a higher standard of living.
“For me, I love the camaraderie and support you get from living in a shared community,” Hancock also said.
