Filled with arts, culture, entertainment, and adventure, Oakland is a premier destination in California. The East Lake neighborhood is a wonderful blend of affordable housing, historic structures, lakefront property, and modern, upscale apartment buildings. In this lively urban neighborhood, views of the city from your front door are just as picturesque as views of Lake Merritt.
Located immediately east of Lake Merritt on its shoreline and just a few miles off of the San Francisco bay, East Lake is an ideal blend of city living and natural areas. After all, who doesn’t like scenic cityscapes and beautiful waterfront views?
Commuting to and from East Lake is a breeze with public buses and quick travel times to nearby neighborhoods. Residents can easily travel to Civic Center, Downtown, and Chinatown in just a few minutes.
