Types of apartment in Oakland, CA

Around Temescal and Adams Point, many apartments sit in 1920s and 1950s buildings with stucco walls, brick details, and small shared entries. Near Lake Merritt, Grand Lake, and Downtown, apartments can range from older mid-rise buildings to newer large complexes with secured lobbies, elevators, and in-unit laundry. Interior layouts in older apartments often include separate dining rooms, built-ins, and less closet space.West Oakland and Jack London Square have more converted industrial buildings, newer apartments, and older duplexes mixed together. In East Oakland, Fruitvale, Laurel, and the Dimond area, you can find more small apartment buildings and detached houses for rent on residential blocks.
