Since there were no recent reviews of the complex, I decided to put this one up... This place is fabulous! The grounds can't be beat, the management is on site, responsive and friendly, but not over bearing. Walk to the Farmer's Market, walk to the beach and Washington park, have sushi and coffee on Webster and the list goes on. The laundry facilities are new and reasonable $1.5 to wash and $1 to dry (I think). Cable is free and gas is free. So you can sit in your warm apartment and watch tv for nothing. Comcast broadband and phone is cheap here too, so that's a big bonus because like the rest of Alameda, cell phone service is intermittent at best. There are one and two bedrooms and while the units are older and on the smaller side, they are still cute and in good repair. The location and general feel of the place makes up for anything lacking in the apartment itself. There is a sense of community here that is really refreshing, but not burdensome. Lots of kids on one side ...

I've lived in this place for four years, and until the last few months, I've loved it. But since they started making "improvements" to the place (read: ways to raise the rent for future tenants), it's become a micromanaged nightmare. ...
