Room Available!

Want to join Walnut St. Co-op? We have a room available!

A room ($350+$95 utilities+$140 food) available in a large, beautiful, sustainability-minded co-op. 9 BR, 4.5 bath duplex combined into a single dwelling. Just a short walk from Hendricks Park, UO Campus, Franklin Market of Choice/Hiron’s/PO, Walnut EMX, 27 LTD. Utilities include unlimited US long distance and wireless Internet.

We share organic, vegetarian food and cook dinner for each other 5 nights a week (meat eaters welcome; we each just buy and store any meat, treats, and other personal food separately). We compost and garden, walk and bike, play board games on occasion, have weekly house meetings and monthly work parties. There are friendly and adorable pets: two cats and two dogs (and that’s probably enough), five chickens, lots of bright common space, lots of books, two kitchens, an awesome couch, hardwood floors, fruit trees, berries and all manner of produce in our organic garden. We have a bike garage and driveway/street space for cars. We are a multi-generational household (ages 24-64), friendly and usually very busy.

Our living philosophy is something along the lines of wabi sabi, we emphasize flow and flux, a co-operative spirit, and a shared respect for each other’s needs. It’s more effort than a traditional rental and a lot more reward. We are particularly interested in people who are looking to settle in for the long run, with experience or at least interest in caring for the house’s physical and/or logistical needs.
