    Place was in poor condition, in my professional opinion as an architect, for a complex only 10 years old. I sent the complex management a detailed list of facilities maintenance and appearance issues with photos.

    Centered around Downtown and Uptown Oakland, 94612 blends historic Art Deco towers with creative lofts and modern high-rises, set in a mild, bay-cooled Mediterranean climate. You’ll find an arts-forward energy: the Fox Theater and Paramount anchor live music and film, galleries spill onto Telegraph during First Fridays, and street murals color walkable streets. Coffee culture and the dining scene run strong—Duende, Tribune, Calavera, Drake’s Dealership, Awaken Cafe, Farley’s East, and Blue Bottle—plus everyday conveniences like Target Uptown, Whole Foods nearby, and fitness at the Downtown YMCA and local studios. Green escapes include Snow Park and the Lake Merritt shoreline path for jogs, picnics, and paddle rentals. Transit is effortless with 19th St and 12th St/City Center BART, AC Transit rapid buses, and bike lanes, making it commuter friendly without a car. According to Zillow’s recent market trends, median asking rent sits in the mid-$2,000s, with most apartments ranging from the low-$2,000s to mid-$3,000s. Many buildings are pet friendly, and the neighborhood exudes lively, community-minded urban energy.
