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

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
