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.

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.

I am extremely disappointed with how this property has been managed. For roughly the past year, I…read morehave repeatedly reported serious issues involving excessive late-night noise and marijuana smoke entering my apartment, yet these problems continue without an effective resolution. The marijuana smoke is especially unacceptable because I have a four-year-old autistic child living in my home who is being exposed to secondhand smoke. The smell enters through areas such as the bathroom ventilation and bedroom window and has become strong enough to get into our clothing. There have been times when I have taken my child to school and teachers or staff have actually questioned why he smells like marijuana. As a parent, I should NEVER have to explain that nobody in my household is smoking and that the smell is coming from neighboring residents. Management has been notified about this repeatedly. There have also been ongoing late-night arguments, banging, slamming, and excessive noise, sometimes between midnight and 3 AM. These issues have been reported and documented, yet they continue. When I previously raised concerns about being unable to comfortably remain in the apartment, I was essentially told I would still be responsible for a lease-break fee. What makes this even more frustrating is how quickly management takes action when they choose to. My Ford Fusion, which is identified on the lease along with its license plate, was towed from the paid parking space because the permit accidentally fell from the windshield onto the floor. The permit was still inside the vehicle. This was not an abandoned or unauthorized vehicle--it was the registered vehicle belonging to the resident paying for that space. Apparently, a fallen parking permit warrants immediate action and an expensive tow, while repeated complaints about a four-year-old autistic child being exposed to secondhand marijuana smoke and ongoing late-night disturbances can continue for months. I am also concerned about residents' privacy. Three-day rent notices are posted on residents' doors with the information facing outward, potentially allowing neighbors, visitors, delivery drivers, and anyone walking by to see that someone is behind on rent, the amount owed, and other financial details. Required notices can be served without unnecessarily exposing someone's financial hardship to the community. Residents deserve privacy, reasonable communication, consistent enforcement, and a safe and peaceful home. The difference in urgency between these issues and a fallen parking permit speaks volumes about management's priorities.

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!
