Adams Point
Adams Point offers a refined, urban ease right where the city meets the water. Set along the northwestern edge of Lake Merritt, it combines tree-lined streets, mid-century high-rises, and classic apartment buildings with immediate access to culture and green space. Residents love the quick connection to Oakland’s downtown, the dining corridors along nearby Grand Lake and Piedmont Avenue, and a central perch within Alameda County.
Morning jogs and sunset strolls happen along the shoreline pathways of Lake Merritt, Oakland’s beloved tidal lake and bird sanctuary, complete with gardens, lawns, and postcard views of the skyline. Families can make weekend memories at the storybook amusement park Children’s Fairyland, while everyone appreciates the year-round events and festivals around the lake. The lake’s official hub, Lake Merritt, anchors neighborhood life with open water, rowing, and a relaxed social scene.
Schools and everyday convenience add to the appeal. Public options like Westlake Middle School sit close by, and many residents find an easy commute via BART, AC Transit, or I-580. Coffee shops, casual eateries, indie fitness studios, and neighborhood markets make car-light living not just possible, but pleasant.
Whether you’re seeking a sleek condo with a balcony view or a vintage building with character, Adams Point balances lakefront leisure with city energy. Ready to navigate the market here?
