Just west of Lake Merritt Lakeside, is one of Oakland, California's historic residential neighborhoods between its Downtown district and Lake Merritt. The greater neighborhood includes the interior blocks officially designated as a local historic district and the 'Gold Coast' peripheral areas along Lakeside Drive, 20th Street, and the west edge of Lake Merritt, areas closer to 14th Street and the Civic Center district, and blocks adjacent to downtown along Harrison Street. The district is characterized by a predominance of more affordable buildings, and a long history of regional mass transit connections serving its central location.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Property Ratings at Raymond Apartments
I lived here for 1 year. The building is run down and appliances are old. Lots of pets are a plus however many owners do not clean up after the dog poop. 1-2 bedroom apartments have been converted into studios with awkward placements of closet. It is not worth what they are asking for. I you’ll find better in Piedmont.
I lived here for several years. I did not have a good experience dealing with the management company. The building is older and not well maintained. We had problems with the water, heat, and safety issues while I lived here. There were also issues with availability of onsite management. I do not recommend this property or working with this management company. The cost of the apartments in my opinion is to high. And, I think the amount they charge for a pet fee is unreasonable.
Don't even bother. It's old run down smelly building there is mold all over the place even inside the fridge I almost threw up when I walked in and the prices at more than what's advertised here. Don't waste your time I wouldn't live here for free
So far so good, just moved in and management was a bit slow getting everything set, didn't have a second set of keys for us and still don't have a mailbox key. Trying to be patient on that front, water has been shut off twice in a week without notification. We have a very small studio but it works, very pet friendly there are tons of dogs living in the building and going in and out. Great if you're on a budget, but definitely not a luxury apartment building.
