Types of apartment in Oakland, CA
Oakland, CA has many kinds of apartments for rent, and the building style changes a lot by area. In North Oakland and Rockridge, you often see older fourplexes, small courtyard apartments, and houses with Victorian or Craftsman fronts, bay windows, and front stairs. Around Temescal and Adams Point, many apartments sit in 1920s and 1950s buildings with stucco walls, brick details, and small shared entries. Near Lake Merritt, Grand Lake, and Downtown, apartments can range from older mid-rise buildings to newer large complexes with secured lobbies, elevators, and in-unit laundry. Interior layouts in older apartments often include separate dining rooms, built-ins, and less closet space.West Oakland and Jack London Square have more converted industrial buildings, newer apartments, and older duplexes mixed together. In East Oakland, Fruitvale, Laurel, and the Dimond area, you can find more small apartment buildings and detached houses for rent on residential blocks. Up in Montclair and the Oakland Hills, houses are more common than apartments, and many sit on steep lots with stairs, decks, and car-focused layouts. The tradeoffs are pretty clear across Oakland. Older apartments often have more original detail and thicker walls, while newer apartments often add easier parking, package rooms, and updated kitchens.
