This isn’t just where 100 people happen to live. It's the home base for the staff, teachers, counselors, and volunteers who make Ananda Sangha’s work in the Bay Area possible — the people who lead the meditations, teach the classes, counsel those going through hard times, and keep the doors open for anyone seeking something more. When you support this property, you’re not just preserving a beautiful place. You're sustaining the people who make Ananda’s service to thousands of souls in this region sustainable, year after year.

​

Lovingly maintained since the 1960s, the 5-acre complex is home to 72 apartments in seven buildings — a mix of studios, one-bedrooms, and townhomes — set among grounds that are genuinely rare for an urban Bay Area property: tall shade trees, a park-like central courtyard, an orchard, and an organic garden. Small devotional statues and shrines are woven throughout, and a temple stands open at any hour for quiet meditation. It's the kind of environment that lets the people serving here actually rest, recover, and stay rooted in the spiritual life they’ve devoted their lives to sharing with others.

​

What you’ll find here:

• A home for 100+ residents: 72 units in 7 buildings on 5 acres

• A large, park-like central courtyard that hosts both quiet contemplation and community life: banquets, chanting, devotional celebrations, a family-friendly July 4th barbecue, and more

• An organic garden residents plant and tend themselves

• An orchard, and fruit trees scattered throughout the property
