Welcome
House coming up for rent in the heart of Triple point
Triple Point is on 65th street, between Hollis and San Pablo, near Ashby, in the neighborhood known as Oakleyville (Emeryville/Oakland/Berkeley border).
The rear house on the property that sits between the two pods of Triple Point is up for rent! The house is at 1123A 65th Street. The back of the house is on Peabody Lane, there is a gate entrance on both 65th Street and Peabody Lane.
** Showing on Saturday January 17th 1:30pm until 3:30pm. **
The owner of the house (not a member of our cohousing community) will be on hand and some of the folks from our cohousing community wil be there. You can view the house and then also have a look around our community.
We will not have any say in who is chosen for the rental due to the outside owner. However we are very much hoping to see someone interested in joining our group or friendly to our group get the house. The house is really only suitable for a single or a couple, we have kids in our group and I don’t think any of us with children would want to live in this house as it is configured currently. Yes it is really 1bd/1ba.
The quick facts:
- 1 bedroom/1 bath with living room and kitchen
- 760 sq ft upstairs, and finished 600 sq ft basement/garage (no
internal stair) - good for storage, car parking, studio space - lots of light, windows on 3 sides of the living room
- all newly remodeled, including floors, heating, kitchen, double paned windows, roof, outside paint, bathroom
- shared yard with front house
- owner is asking $1500/month.
- may be friendly to cats, not sure about dogs.
Being part of Triple Point:
- Opportunity to be as involved as you like: dinners, parties, projects, child/dog care swap etc
- If you want to join our group officially we have a monthly meeting and monthly dues, we are a young group (3 yrs old) and you would have space to help define your role as you would be the first renter in our group.
Future of the house:
There is a rumor that the front house tenants will be leaving sometime next year, whether the owners will be ready to sell the property at that point is still a total unknown. But there is a chance that they will. At the very least we could campaign to rent the front house to more community members.
We are currently 6 houses (owners), 10 adults, 2 kids, 3 dogs (and probably a cat or two soon). We bought the 6
houses 3 years ago, we eat together weekly on Thursdays, with a smaller group eating together on Mondays. First Thursdays are more formal meetings with an agenda, and second Saturdays are a community day (like working on each other’s houses, gardens or going out together).
Our group is split into two ‘geographic’ halves by another property - this is the property where the house is for rent. The property has a house in front which is rented by a family who has lived there for at least a couple of years before we purchased. The back house has been under renovation for that whole time and we’re very excited to have the possibility of getting someone who wants to be a part of our group, or a coho-friendly person of any sort. This would help connect to the current two halves of our group (and we’re hoping that will help convince the current owners to add another gate to their yard so we can all go through the yard…currently their is a gate to one side yard, but not the other). Our long term goal is to try and purchase the property whenever they are ready to sell - and have our retrofit group grow to 8 households!
