OAKLAND, Calif. – If you’ve dreamed of raising your kids with your besties, now’s your chance. In a rare opportunity to share property with all of your closest friends, the Oakland<\/a> compound, known as Radish<\/a>, is on sale after the founders say its group is outgrowing the space.<\/p>\n They say people are happiest with the people they love, and it\u2019s a community attracting young families who want to share life together.<\/p>\n Rare upscale compound built to support multiple families <\/p>\n The Radish community is a 14,000 square foot lot made up of seven units currently housing 28 people, including eight kids.\u00a0<\/p>\n Husband-and-wife duo Phil Levin and Kristen Berman started the community in 2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n “We ended up starting this place as basically what we saw as the place that we wanted to have kids,” said Levin.\u00a0<\/p>\n Now, the ready-made intentionally designed compound is on sale.<\/p>\n For $4-6 million, families can occupy seven private units and share amenities and communal spaces. No one needs to share a room.<\/p>\n “To actually make this work for us, we had to do a lot of work \u2013 so we built two new buildings. We built the whole backyard. We renovated a bunch of stuff,” said Levin.<\/p>\n Outgrowing the property <\/p>\n It started with just seven people, and grew over the last seven years.<\/p>\n Kabir Dos Santos, who originally declined an offer to join the compound, was later convinced during the pandemic.<\/p>\n “During COVID, I was living by myself in my one-bedroom apartment going crazy, so I get a call from Kristen and they\u2019re having a party and I was just like, \u2018Oh you guys are doing something that I\u2019m not doing,\u2019” said Dos Santos.<\/p>\n Now, it\u2019s filled with 20 adults and eight kids, with two more on the way.<\/p>\n They eat dinner together six nights a week and have “baby happy hour” with foamy milk for the toddlers.<\/p>\n It\u2019s all in the name of happiness.<\/p>\n “The key innovation here is, we\u2019re actually designing to be close to the people we love and the number 1 determinant in happiness is relationships, so if you want to be happy you should be close to the people you love,” said Berman.<\/p>\n Communities like this are more common than you\u2019d think.<\/p>\n Max Nelson, a realtor who specializes in co-owned compounds and helps folks find properties for groups to live in, said more people are looking for something like this in urban settings.<\/p>\n “I think a lot of people are realizing that they don\u2019t want to leave the communities they\u2019re working and living in,” Nelson said.<\/p>\n Lines of people trying to tour the space <\/p>\n And, the interest is there.<\/p>\n “We did our first couple tour days and, I think, had over 70 people at each of them,” said Levin.<\/p>\n Their goal is to sell to someone who will carry on what they\u2019ve started.<\/p>\n What’s next:<\/p>\n After the sale, the group will move between three properties in Alameda and Berkeley, which have larger units to accommodate their growing families.<\/p>\n “We\u2019ve already planned things for how we will continue to gather in the different communities,” said Dos Santos.<\/p>\n Radish founders will be hosting tours through the month of April for interested buyers. They will be taking offers in June.<\/p>\n To find out more, you can get information at buyradish.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n Oakland<\/a>News<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OAKLAND, Calif. – If you’ve dreamed of raising your kids with your besties, now’s your chance.
