Adams Point
What it’s like to live in Adams Point
Nestled near Lake Merritt, Adams Point offers urban convenience with historic Art Deco apartments and bay windows overlooking Oakland's crown jewel. Residents enjoy weekend strolls around the lake's 3.4-mile path and easy access to the Grand Lake Theater and farmers market. The neighborhood balances tranquility with proximity to downtown, though limited parking during First Fridays art walks requires planning.
