Alameda's Hidden Gem

I have lived at the Waterfront Apartments since spring of 2017, and I've loved living here. The few times I've needed a work order were quickly resolved, and the main office has been responsive. I've found emails to be the easiest communication. It took some time when I moved in to get a secure parking space inside the garage, but it was easy enough to park on the street until I got it. The location can't be beat; across the street from Alameda's beach, a short walk to the South Shore Shopping Center and only a couple blocks farther to get to Park Street. The best Alameda has to offer. It's also a quick drive off the island and to the Oakland airport if you work in the East Bay or travel for work. This complex doesn't allow pets, so unless that is a deal breaker for you I really can't recommend this complex enough. My particular unit was easy to warm in the winter, stayed cool in all but the hottest days of summer, and was overall just a great place to live.
