2422 Ridge Rd
Berkeley, CA 94709
Wheelchair Accessible
Casa Zimbabwe has gone through many incarnations over the years since its construction in the 1960s as both the first building designed specifically to be a student co-op, and the first in the nation to be co-ed.
Currently, most members have lost count of the number of different lives CZ has led, but it is safe to say that the building, its… Read More

Berkeley, CA 94704
Originally built in the late 19th century for the attorney of the storied Hearst Family, this resplendent manor was one of the first homes to grace Panoramic Hill. Just as close to campus as to a leisurely walk in the woods, Davis is a welcoming and comfortable retreat. Though we’re only thirty-six members large, our generous common areas lure us out of our rooms for late night snacks and conversations ranging from… Read More

2519 Ridge Road
Berkeley, CA 94709
Hoyt Hall is women identying only in the fall and spring, co-ed during the summer.
We called it “stooping it”; the phrase essentially encapsulated my summer experience. Oddly enough we did everything on the stoop. We gardened, made art, breakfast, lunch, dinner, watched the sun rise and set in the warm Berkeley summer air. This past summer at Hoyt was the best summer I ever had. There… Read More

Unique co-opers from all walks of life manage to fit into the occasionally quiet, but always welcoming and everchanging culture of the BSC’s smallest house. Kidds are so special, in fact, that there are only 17 of them in production at any time. With a great backyard, pool table, piano, TV, and study room there’s… Read More
Kingman Hall
11 Singles - 18 Doubles - 1 Triple - 50 Residents
1730 La Loma Ave
Berkeley, CA 94709
Kingman Hall, aka Toad Hall, when the weather is just so, is something of a resplendent Victorian manor lodged in the red wooded hills of North Berkeley. Ivy and Morning Glories creep along the sides of the house. It is a mere one block tumble from campus and the windy walks of the Rose Garden. A forest, a garden, a study, a place of vibrant, beating, and charmingly sordid history, it is a local landmark; birthed as a… Read More

Ridge House is the perfect fit for people who are looking for a friendly atmosphere. Ridgelings know there is a good balance between respect for the needs of a student and appreciation of a well-deserved break. Ridge is a mid-sized house; we aren’t so big that you’ll still be meeting new Ridgelings at breakfast every morning, but there is always someone to hangout with. We don’t have many huge parties… Read More
