About Whitehall Intentional Society, Inc.
On Nueces Street in Austin, this democratically run cooperative suits people who want a structured, social house with shared rules and shared responsibility. The feel is practical rather than polished, with a vegetarian household, collective decision-making, and a clear commitment to living intentionally. It works for people who value community routines, weekly meetings, and a house where everyone has a say.
Rent runs from €542.84 to €657.71 per month. A monthly food cost of €135 is added on top, and a €500 deposit is required, with part of it non-refundable. Leases are month-to-month, with a minimum stay of one year. Rooms come in different sizes. Members contribute five hours of labor each week, covering kitchen work, cleaning, yard work, and other maintenance tasks.
- Vegetarian communal meals with a strict house policy for shared food
- Consensus-based governance with weekly meetings
- Organized shared labor spread across kitchen, cleaning, and upkeep
- Application process that takes around three weeks and includes dinners and a biography
- Limited parking in a neighborhood that is largely pedestrian-friendly
- No pets
The house started in 1949 as an all-women’s student co-op and became co-ed in 1971. That history still shows in the setup: orderly, communal, and built around participation. Individual members may keep and eat non-vegetarian food in designated areas, which gives the house a little flexibility without changing the communal rules.
