City - Oakland

Sitting directly across the I-80 from San Francisco, Oakland is a thriving city in its own right, and in recent years has become a popular home for folks seeking more affordable (and available) living arrangements than what is available across the bay without sacrificing the distinctive atmosphere.

While shipping is still a major part of the local economy, Oakland is home to the corporate headquarters for everything from established consumer brands to younger tech businesses. The cultural diversity of the city is vast, meaning that it’s easy to find art, food, and people from every corner of the world by just walking down the street.

California College of the Arts brings a creative streak to the community, which is reflected in the eclectic shops and cafes along College Avenue; In the Mosswood area, an eclectic mix of coffee houses, taverns, arts centers, and international restaurants line Telegraph Avenue, which runs all the way up to the UC Berkeley campus.

School data provided by 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.

Great place to live! There are some small cleanliness and tenant respecting the rules issues, but all in all, decent. I'm starting my 5th year and I would not have chosen anywhere else to live.

Living here has been fair. It is pretty safe however there’s a lot of trash around the neighborhood and rodents. Sometimes the area could be loud but nine times out of 10. It’s pretty good. There could be more communication with staff instead of a computer system.

I liked this place very much! Wide and bright rooms, beautiful amenities, nice views. Overall, it was home. I lived here for more than two years. We moved out feeling sad, especially my two year old. Our unit had a defect, a vibrating noise coming from the floor, which at times kept me awake at night. After living for a year, I requested ( more like begging) the management to fix the problem or transfer me to other unit with similar price or current market price. However they did not because of their “ policy “ which assumes the market price of any unit is at list $300 per month from current price (not true at all) and 500 transfer cost. Well, I hope my toddler gets used to his new apartment and likes it the same. But for those of you who want to rent here , I recommend this place but make sure to check for any defects before signing the lease.

I have resided on this property for nearly three years and have encountered numerous ongoing issues. Building security remains inconsistent, and many residents fail to clean up after their pets, leaving the surrounding grounds in poor condition. While the maintenance staff does an exceptional job in their efforts to uphold a clean environment, the lack of accountability among residents continues to undermine these efforts. It is very disappointing. The office staff is not friendly or inviting the Community Manager never walks the property and there are very few activities and events held for residents. I only remain a resident here because I have a washer and dyer in my unit.

Long time resident. Most neighbors seem sincere and respectful. Occasionally you’ll find a bad apple of a neighbor. Once there was a neighbor who used their apartment for Air BnB. They volunteered in their ad that smoking was allowed. Living above the is miscreant neighbor led to over 2 years of second hand skunk pot smoke leaking into our apartment. Talk about a nightmare. Other than that, it’s mostly been ok. The rent increases lately have been fairly stable though prices seem to increase yearly. The maintenance staff are very good and dependable. Staff are mostly sincere too.

Decent management and community if someone can vibe with a loud bus, flashing strobe lights, and okay amenities. My first year was excellent, and I enjoyed my time here. However, the second year was unenjoyable. I am paying the market price for our lease agreement. Parking is a plus here since it is cheaper than most other apartment companies, and parking is not an issue. Electronics may need some improvements to the system. There is a snack machine and beverage machine that I live off of. There may be internet in the community lounge, and it's a quiet place to study because it is usually empty. A lot of tenants use the pool, and it is lively. Uptown recently installed new signages and doggy ?? dispensers around the area. I would love to catch a glimpse of the community event life here since it is close to the nightlife scene.

We were absolutely thrilled to move into our new studio apartment and have been so pleased with the overall experience. From the very beginning, the leasing process was smooth, and the management team has been incredibly responsive to any maintenance requests, always addressing concerns in a timely manner. One of our favorite features is the beautifully maintained pool and hot tub, which we take full advantage of every single day. It’s a wonderful way to relax and unwind. The bathroom is surprisingly spacious for a studio and includes a wonderful timed warmer light, which makes chilly early mornings feel so much cozier. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed, with ample storage space and stunning granite countertops that we absolutely love. Additionally, the convenience of parking right below our apartment on the ground floor adds a level of ease and security that makes our daily routine even better.

Its a great apartment complex to be a part of. The community is strong, and there are always helpful people around in the neighborhood. The street lighting is much required in the area during the evenings, as the sidewalks become pretty dark with the tree shade, and with the area being sketchy, it just helps to be visible. The call box could also be something to introduce in the building, as the current call boxes are non-functional.

My experience living here this year has been horrible. My apartment is facing Telegraph Ave and it’s very loud and violent. Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday there are gunshots, people being murdered, people being robbed, fighting, sideshows, crashing cars, loud people screaming and blasting music all night until 3am. Noise cancellation items do not help. When the residents above me talk, walk, use any appliances including the toilet I can hear. Parking is horrible the price for it is not worth it. When you find a park you can’t get out or into your car and now I have scratches and dents. When you can’t find parking you are forced to walk 4 blocks in a bad neighborhood to see if it is parking in other lots. People allow their dogs to pee on the elevator floor and stairway floor. My family was not able to enjoy the pool area due to the crazy adult parties. Resident blowing smoke in my kids face, cursing, loud talking and drinking alcohol while inside the jacuzzi and pool.

Price is great, location is great, amenities offered are great, staff is great. Overall it's an excellent place to live. Windows are double-paned which is good because the area is next to a popular entertainment venue. But no place is perfect: Actual upkeep of the building is lacking. Elevators in the building are left broken for 3 weeks, the ones which work are missing inspection paperwork. In general, you get the feeling that you are paying somewhere for the reduced cost of this apartment compared to other large downtown apartment buildings. But for many, that's well worth it.

Property Manager at The Uptown, Responded To This Review

We're glad to hear that you're enjoying the value, location, and amenities of your home. We appreciate your feedback regarding the upkeep of our community and the elevators. The Department of Industrial Relations has not resumed regular permit inspections since COVID, however, we keep a record of the maintenance and they have issued us a letter stating that they are aware that they are behind. We strive to maintain a high standard of living for our residents and unfortunately, we are at the mercy of manufacturers for replacement parts. Thank you again; your comments help us improve. Please feel free to reach out to us directly at 510.452.1355 or TheUptown@MillCreekPlaces.com to discuss any concerns further. Thank you for being a part of our community.

Safe, clean, and friendly. Very comfortable so far. Responsive staff. Quiet. Lovely grounds. I like there is an Amazon locker, on site security, a pool, and a gym. Wish there was air conditioning though.

Improved Staff

I’ve been living at the Uptown Apartments for over a year now and we’ve had a lot of rotating staff at the front desk although Simone has been great! She’s always friendly and super nice. Most recently when I was on crutches from a broken leg she’s made extra efforts to help ensure my packages and deliveries have made their way up to my apartment so I didn’t have to worry about them.
