Casa Zimbabwe
Casa Zimbabwe (known to many as CZ) has gone through many incarnations over the years since her construction in 1966 as both the first building designed specifically to be a student co-op, and the first in the nation to be co-ed.
CZ is a safe space for bad babes, bros and queers of all colors to come together and bring the best out of each other for our czommunity. Casa Zimbabwe is dedicated to being affordable housing for college/university students.
Housing 70 students atop the “Holy Hill” of Berkeley, less than a block north of campus, the building resides in the peaceful atmosphere of Northside, surrounded by several beautiful churches and seminaries and a two-minute walk from the UC Berkeley campus, and a 15 minute walk away from Berkeley City College.
CZ has, through the initiative and enthusiasm of its members, been cared for and maintained in style. Go from enjoying charcuterie on Ito's roof during the semesterly art & cheese party to sunbathing atop the watermelon on the study roof. Wander the densely art-packed halls, interacting with the many artists of the house along the way. Tend to your rooftop or courtyard garden between pole dancing in the common room, joining your housemates in late-night culinary hijinks in the spacious kitchen, and dancing the night away. Enjoy the ringing of the Campanile and the soothing sounds of your housemates' piano practice in the RedRum. Revival is always at CZ, and she's not going anywhere.
