736 Alcatraz Avenue - Sunny, top-floor Studio Apartment Available November First, 2025. Renovated unit with Vintage charm!
UNIT & BUILDING DESCRIPTIONS:
This 16 unit apartment complex is blocks from Ashby BART and approx. 1.5 miles from the UCB Campus. Located in a mixed-use neighborhood, you're close to the advantages of urban living without the hassles. There are numerous shops, restaurants and grocery stores a leisurely walk away, including lovely cafes for working and relaxing!
This classic 1920's mission-style apartment building is located at the border of North Oakland, a stone's throw from Berkeley. This second-story unit is off the street (at the rear of the building), providing greater privacy and less street noise. Newer, double-paned windows throughout allow for lots of natural light and ventilation control. Kitchen has ample cabinet storage, full-size gas stove and refrigerator. Beautiful hardwood floors have just been refinished and entire unit freshly painted! Entire building exterior has also just been repainted including the courtyard entry. Security gated entry with callbox to allow for easy visitor and delivery access remotely. Owner pays for cold and hot water, garbage collection, gas for all stoves and central steam heating! So the only utilities you pay are electricity, internet and phone service (if you choose). The well-maintained grounds and gated courtyard create a calm, peaceful atmosphere for quiet living and enjoyment with a vintage vibe.
AC transit bus stops are close-by in all directions. Various bus lines run down Shattuck and Alcatraz for quick access to downtown Berkeley BART, downtown Oakland and beyond! The Transbay line runs straight down Adeline/Martin Luther King Way and provides affordable travel to San Francisco and elsewhere. In addition, Ashby BART offers access to the whole of the Bay Area and is four short blocks away.
