This cozy 1 bedroom apartment is located in the very heart of the beautiful Lake Merritt District's highly desirable government, cultural and natural environment. Walk a block to go boating on the quiet and beautiful lake or go to the nationally protected natural wetland to enjoy the various birds inhabiting there. Or accompany the children to the children's playground by the lake. Public transportation is convenient near the apartment: many bus (BUS) stops and 2 subway (BART) stations are within walking distance. Across the street is the Oakland Main Library and a few blocks away is the Oakland Law Library as well as the CA Oakland Museum, Oakland LANEY College and Elementary and Secondary Schools. This culturally rich area is great for everyone, especially growing kids. In addition to paying for electricity, the HOA covers insurance, cold and hot water, heating, waste collection, and common area maintenance and cleaning.
