Bell Uptown District

I lived at Bell Uptown last year. It's a great apartment building! I have a dog, and the dog restroom area on the second floor was a game changer. It's also the quietest apartment I've ever had. I never heard anyone next door or upstairs. The Property Manager Hannah was also fantastic and made moving in and out so easy. I would've stayed if my work hadn't brought me out of state. I highly recommend!

Bell Uptown District in Oakland was a beautiful, safe and conveniently located apartment complex downtown Oakland. Our daughter lived there for 5 months while externing. The apartment is across the street from 3 fabulous restaurants. And the Building Manager Hannah and maintenance Manager Arturo were always so helpful, friendly and accommodating moving in and out and while our daughter lived there. I would highly recommend this Apartment!!

I sincerely enjoyed my 2.5 years living at Bell Uptown District (formerly The Maxwell). If I hadn't had to move out of state for work, I would absolutely still be living there. The building is new (or at least on the new side), comparatively small (a plus if you don't like crowds and hubbub), and well maintained. The apartment layouts are fantastic and, at least in my unit, I couldn't hear my neighbors next door or upstairs at all. Love having the convenience of the upstairs dog restroom area and Hannah and Arturo provide great service keeping things running. I have to say I took it all completely fore-granted until I moved and wasn't able to find anywhere comparable in my new location.

Awesome apartments, unique modern design and amazing staff!

Bell Uptown is a great community, the management team was excellent and resolved every issue immediately. The building is nice and new and the location is good also, close to Bart and and the interstate, also within walking distance to a variety of entertainment.

Awesome build quality and peace of mind living here. Convenient location and responsive management.

So far my experience living at Bell Uptown District has been great. Moving in was seamless and all questions, concerns, and maintenance requests have been addressed promptly.

I love it here! Staff is amazing and the apartments are greatly designed with detail in mind.

I love living here! I feel very at home in my apartment and with the management team, everyone is very friendly.

Love living here. The location is great and the apartment is very spacious.

I love living at Bell Uptown District! Ive lived here since April and feel very at home. My favorite amenity is the Gameroom and my favorite part of the apartment is the windows (and the walk in closet!)

Pros: spacious floor plan with huge windows. Modern blinds. Rodents/insects not a problem we dealt with. Super convenient location. Clean usually. Cons: Not cheap! Property management is inconsistent with rules/fees/procedures - it's like every resident is her first from beginning to end. There are move-out fees, expect to pay about $500 for paint and cleaning to move out (even if it's not listed on your lease or move-out inspection). Super noisy since it's so close to main artery to access freeway, especially during nightlife hours (Th-Su). Walls are thin - expect to hear your neighbor's extracurricular activities - quite possibly rap music at 8am on Saturday morning. Amenities are non-existent: creepy game-room, dirty dog dropping area that doesn't get cleaned, & the solitary gym room... Oh! The management company changed every 4 months we were there - unsure what that means, but doesn't seem good. Good luck & happy apartment hunting.
