Welcome to the Monkey Island Co-op

We Have Two Openings at Our Co-op

Seeking a housemate or two!

We are looking for housemates for our shared home in Berkeley’s charming Elmwood neighborhood. We are seeking people who are comfortable with community living and fit well with the current housemates.

Some maintenance or construction skills would be ideal, but are definitely not a requirement. This could includes fix-it and maintenance tasks around the house, ongoing yard work, and arranging additional repairs as needed.
