Enjoy vibrant living near the Lake.

When you live here, you get more than a home. You get an entire neighborhood where you can live, work, shop, dine and play.

This great location, centered in the Lake Merritt area, means you'll never be far from Lakeshore's and Grand Avenue's unique shopping and restaurants, Saturday morning's Grand Lake Farmer's Market, and Grand Lake Theater. Enjoy local coffee shops, grocery shopping and great East Bay weather. Close to alternate transportation, AC and BART. Gated access and parking. .

The commercial centers of the district are Grand and Lakeshore Avenues, both laid-back social centers with plenty of shopping and dining opportunities.

Arizmendi Bakery, or a hearty sit down brunch at Lynn & Lu's Escapade Cafe. Highly recommended options for lunch and dinner are everywhere. Spettro's, Camino and Boot & Shoe Service (also great for morning coffee) are all wonderfully relaxed. Try some raved-about high-end cuisine at Penrose, or the popular sushi houses Mijori and Coach.

A visit to the Grand Lake Theatre on Grand Avenue is not to be missed. The movie palace is an area landmark whose architecture lives up to its name. Catch a show on a Friday or Saturday and the Mighty Wurlitzer organ majestically rises from the floor to give a mini-concert before the film begins.

This is a district with balance. The stimulation and fun of city life is ready for you to pick your pleasure but, for those moments when you find yourself drained and in need of refueling, the lake is waiting.
