Posted: April 15th, 2025The Parker Street Co-op is a 24-unit co-op composed of studio and 1BR apartments. The Co-op is a non-profit corporation owned by its owner occupants. We purchase shares and rent back to ourselves.
The coop: We are a limited equity coop of 24 units in two buildings convenient to BART and public transportation in downtown Berkeley at 2335-2341 Parker Street. The coop is owned by a non-profit corporation whose only members are its shareholder residents, and we are ages 30 to 92. We buy our shares at a modest rate and agree to limits on their price when selling them later. The current share price is about $29,285 for the 1BR share, with a monthly assessment for common expenses of about $525 for the 1BR unit. Studio share price and monthly assessment are 75% of the 1BR rates. Food is not included in the shared expenses, and we do not do shared cooking other than one shared meal per month that is a potluck. We live simply and co-own/manage the property together to keep it affordable for us and for those who come after us.
