We just moved here and so far, I'm really thrilled with my newest digs!…read more Kelly, Barbara, and Lisa have been professional, friendly, and helpful with our many questions about the neighborhood, public transportation, building policies, even for the local pet stores (cat friendly building). This complex is professionally managed by Emerald Properties and so far, I'm very satisfied with their team and complex upkeep. I would say for people looking into apartments that they are very much by the book- that is, you are expected to live according to the provided rules and will be notified if you behave otherwise. Really obvious stuff. Our neighbors have been very welcoming and the neighborhood has a good feel to it (1/2 block walk to San Leandro Blvd, 2-3 blocks from the library, maybe 5 blocks from the BART station). I used to live in downtown Oakland and it's nice to not sleep through loud sirens, heavy traffic and the occasional helicopter. We rented this apt with new fixtures, new carpet, and remodeled countertops and cabinetry- very sunny and open. I refrained from 5 stars as we are new and are still getting to know the complex. Will update according to our experience.

I have lived here for about 6 years. The apartment i reside in has a ton of natural light and is…read morevery quite at night. My neighbors are very nice and do not care when i watch tv late or have friends over. When I first moved in the apartment did not have double pained windows which made my place very cold during the winter. However our building upgraded the windows (which was a big hassle during that time). Now we spend less money on heating and the noise from the outside has been greatly reduced. The only draw back is our rent has been raised by about $200 a month since the time we originally moved. in. The building management told us that the market value of our apartment is way higher than what we pay and that new residences pay much more than we do now. I have no idea if that is true or not but because my apartment has close proximity to my job, bart and down town san leandro stores i will not be moving for the foreseeable future. I like my apartment and building a lot.

This is an incredible place to live! It is very close to just about everything. Shopping centers down the block on both ends, the freeway is accessible withing 3 minutes of driving, 880N/S 580N/S all within 5 minutes. There are known restaurants around the corner as well. Gas stations at least 5 if you're coming from 880. The management there is really awesome, especially Sam. Whenever you have a problem, they make sure to take care of it right away because they care. I had a project once that required some tools, and I asked if they had them and they let me borrowed the tools. Great amenities like a pool from 3ft-8ft deep, fitness center although it's just literally a exercise bike, central heating, microwave, washer/dryer which takes quarters, dishwasher, grinder, FREE WATER and many other things. Although I did wish it was an indoor pool as the pool gets dirty since there are trees around it. But I was told that they may not offer free water anymore. It doesn't sound like they try to screw you out of your deposit when you move out. We just moved out so we haven't gotten ours back yet, but going through the walk through with Sam, it sounds like we'll get most of ours back. We were told to clean as much as we can and fill up all the holes when you hang frames and other things. One thing that we didn't have is a bathroom window, the exhaust is not powerful enough to suck in all the moist from taking a shower so if you don't wipe out the moisture from the wall it could turn out as mold. The parking could also be a problem if you have visitors. We were granted with 2 parking spots. We have 3 cars, we could pay for an extra parking spot but decided not to, so we could save some money. There are a limited number of open spaces outside. All in all the 4 years I lived here, not a single time I regret. It's like living in a hotel, it's upscale compared to my friends apartments. The closets were new, the carpet was new, the kitchen cabinets were all new. Before you move in I remember that you feel like you are home. Memories were made in this place, sad to say but now that me and my brother are in college it's time to have separate rooms, which is why we moved to a house now with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. You will not regret living here, it is definitely as good as it gets for a place I lived in for 4 years that I called home.

Lived here for a few months - LOVE these apartments!…read more HERE'S WHY: ------------------- 1.) Month-to-month rent terms! 2.) Smaller than most security deposit + reasonable pet deposit (they allow dogs here, too)! 3.) Many apt sizes including quaint studios! 4.) Beautiful grounds (see pic of center fountain in courtyard)! 5.) All bills paid! Woohoo! And free cable! 6.) Under 2 blocks away from Crab Cove, the SF BAY, the beach, and a huge park! 7.) Only a few miles from a BART station! 8.) TONS of parking (half covered) in a private, free parking lot. 9.) Near tons of restaurants & shopping. 10.) Built 1925 & used to be a Neptune Beach resort!! (An Alameda historical building!) ***THAT'S JUST TO NAME A FEW REASONS!*** .. So yeah. Great apt homes.. I recommend checking 'em out!!!

LONG BUT WORTH THE READ…read more After 8 years of living at 14744 Washington Ave., San Leandro, the decline was substantial. After Will was replaced (onsite apt manager) there was no oversight - anything goes now - loud music, banging at all hours, smoking outside my window. We moved in March after finding a home we love, thank God, and received a ridiculous statement outlinng our deposit refund with bogus line items that I'm going to dispute but that's not what this review is about. See PROOF IN PICTURES. **You can see the flooding when it rains. Supposedly this was repaired but there was still a substantial amount of flooding when it rained just before we moved - I still needed galoshes (rain boots). **If you don't mind seeing garbage overflow on a regular basis, this is your place. Before we moved, the SMALL garage cans provided were locked. There are not enough cans for the number of tenants onsite. I didn't allow my family or friends to visit me. **My husband cleaned urine, trash and vomit from the elevator (only worked a few months out of the year). **We won't discuss the uninvited guests . That appeared in 2024. We've only been gone about 3 months but I would win a lot of money if I bet it has changed. Still in touch with friends (tenants) that live there. Please steer clear of this place if you want a decent place to live and raise your children.

Although the lofts are located on a busy street I never really was bothered by noise. You will occasionally hear police sirens or fire trucks but for the most part the place is quiet. It is located in a great location close to bart, 880/580, and shopping. The only thing I didn't like was the price of the unit, they range from $1,000-1,395 and this is the reason I moved. But if you can afford the rent its a great place to live. The property manager can be annoying at times, but there is always the ignore button when she calls!
