WEST OAKLAND COMMUNITY LIVING
The Union is a brand new coliving community in West Oakland designed for living a joyful shared life in community. It’s a net-zero energy building (with rooftop solar panels) with 17 bedrooms across 2 separate homes connected by an amazing outdoor sky bridge.
The community has an array of professionally furnished common spaces including a shared living room and expansive community kitchen with dual stoves, fridges, and dishwashers. There’s also a backyard fire pit, coworking nook, and rentable private studio space on-site. The most loved community space at The Union is the stunning rooftop deck with sunset views of downtown Oakland.
ABOUT WEST OAKLAND
The Union is only 2 blocks from West Oakland Bart (5 minutes to Downtown Oakland, 7 minutes to Downtown San Francisco). The West Oakland neighborhood is known for its strong culture, local art studios, and unique fusion restaurants. We love these West Oakland small local businesses and restaurants:
• Mandela Grocery Cooperative (0.2 miles) for healthy food and wellness resources
• 10th & Wood (0.5 miles) for “Po-Mi” sandwiches (think Banh mi meets Po’ Boy)
• Old Kan Beer & Co (1.0 mile) for beer that feels like Oakland
• Old Oakland Farmers Market (1.4 miles) for the Easy Bay’s most diverse, affordable, and accessible Farmer’s Market
FROM THE COMMUNITY
“We have weekly official communal dinners together and share meal preparation, chores, and host activities in and out of the house together. We work together to keep our house clean, welcoming, and engaged. We do things together like karaoke, movie nights, birthday celebrations, jam sessions, art nights, rock climbing, field trips, even international travel together. We have an opt-in shared vegetarian food program that meets almost all of our dietary needs, and we help each other transform raw food goods into nourishing, delicious food for each other.”
The Union actively works towards & promotes a community that wants to foster a safe space for everyone and promote diversity. To learn more about what this means to us specifically, please reach out to set up a tour with one of our members.
“We all grow and learn from one another. We see community as a way to expand our networks, our experience, and ultimately our lives. We are looking for people that are excited for living in a community while also valuing individuality. Our home is the best of both worlds – you can do you own thing while also plugging into fun community events, dinners, and relationships.”
