About Wavecrest Lanai Apartments

EMAIL US! Set up a time to tour our lushly landscaped property! Wavecrest Lanai Apartments are located on a neighborhood street (not the busy Shoreline Drive) and yet are just a block from the walking path along lovely Crown Memorial Beach. We are directly across from the popular South Shore shopping center, where you'll find such gems as Trader Joe's, Safeway, Old Navy, Kohl's, great restaurants, banking and many other convenient services! We offer assigned off-street gated parking, most of it covered. We are a gated community with keychain remote gate operators for both parking area and pedestrian entrances. Smoke-Free of course! We have tons of storage! All units feature mirrored closet doors, new vinyl plank flooring in downstairs units - new carpet upstairs. Most units have new appliances, new dishwashers, and some feature granite counters. Our patios are HUGE, and our balconies sunny. We are a great low density location across from single family homes and only a block from the beach - peaceful but central. Landscaping is refreshing with banana palms, ferns, magnolias, birch and elm trees. Enjoy our new large pool and sun-deck. Additional storage lockers are available on site at no extra cost!. This is our best location and a great value. We offer washers and dryers with internet connected machines that use debit and credit cards - not quarters! Availability can be checked online and a notification when your laundry is done can be sent via text message or email. Take the guesswork out of your laundry and stop wasting time!

Wavecrest Lanai Apartments is an apartment community located in Alameda County and the 94501 ZIP Code. This area is served by the Alameda Unified attendance zone.

City - Alameda

Welcome to Alameda, an island city in the San Francisco Bay Area where coastal living meets historic charm. Located just east of San Francisco, this waterfront community features tree-lined streets, preserved Victorian architecture, and a walkable downtown district. Park Street serves as the downtown hub, home to the restored 1932 Alameda Theatre and numerous independent businesses. Crown Memorial State Beach stretches along the southern shore, providing 2.5 miles of sandy beach for outdoor recreation. Housing options span from preserved Victorian homes to contemporary waterfront residences, with rental rates averaging $2,341 for one-bedroom apartments and $2,845 for two-bedrooms, reflecting a 1.5% decrease.

Alameda Point, formerly the Naval Air Station, has evolved into a recreational destination featuring Spirits Alley, where local craft beverage makers operate in converted hangars overlooking the San Francisco skyline.
