“I had a few issues that I need to talk to a representative about… I was lucky to get AJ! She was smart, understanding and quick with a resolution! I will ALWAYS ask for her in the future! Thank you AJ!”

“I have lived at Flora for about 3 years. I have loved everything about this community from the moment I stepped foot on Flora Ave.! It is quiet, secure, very well maintained, pet friendly, and the neighbors are lovely. The team here is top-notch. The location is perfect; close to downtown (less than a mile) but not in downtown itself.
Joe and Sam (maintenence team) are wonderful; they respond so quickly to requests, and they make sure everything is done well. Just today, my handle broke off my sliding glass door (it gets lots of use), and I put in a maintenence request through the resident app. Within the hour, the job was complete, and Sam even brought in a package that was at my door for me. He texted with me to communicate that everything was fixed, and that my dog was well behaved while he worked ?. Sam really goes above and beyond!
My previous dog who passed away in the spring, as well as my newly adopted dog, love the dog run to get out those zoomies! It’s so convenient to have the dog wash station here as well.
I’ve made friends with quite a few neighbors from socializing at the dog run, through the community events that management puts on, or hanging by the well maintained pool when it’s warm.
If you’re looking to rent a home, Flora is well worth checking out! I cannot say enough good things about my home. ❤️”

“Shaun, Royia and the whole team at Canyon Creek Apartments have been fantastic. My experience touring was very personable and professional as was the rest of the process moving forward. I felt very confident knowing what to expect when moving here thanks to the valuable insight provided by Shaun during my move-in tour. I have also been very impressed at the quick response times they offer to any inquiries. Definitely recommend!”

“I move. A lot. So, I've lived in my share of apartment buildings. 1200 Lakeshore is, by far, the best managed building I've lived in. Everyone who works here is the best. They know the residents and their pups. Mrs. Hudson misses her neighbor, Christiana and her daily ear rubs. Maintenance is fast and seamless. The management is top-notch. They have events and doughnuts for morning commuters every once in a while. The front security staff are friendly and professional and the building is super secure. Proximity to BART and living on Lake Merritt is amazing. The spaces are large and open. The residents are also fantastic. Say hi to Maya the bulldog if you move in. She loves some love.Now, not everything is always perfect. The building is amazing, as I said, but the noise is a thing. I'm a city person so the sounds of a city aren't new to me. The units facing 1st Avenue are NOISY. If this is something that doesn't bother you, then you're golden. If you're sensitive to that, opt for a higher floor on the lakeside. It's in Oakland. There is crime. Like all cities. Don't complain about it after moving in and then blame the building management. Due diligence on your part makes life better.Yes, I really lived here. No, I'm not paid nor friends with the management or ownership. It's just a great place.”

“Ky Thompson was absolutely amazing during my tour at The Logan! From the moment I arrived, she was welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic about helping me find the perfect home. She took the time to answer all my questions, provided detailed insights about the property, and made the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free. Her professionalism and friendly demeanor truly set her apart. If you’re looking for a top-notch leasing experience, I highly recommend working with Ky.”

“3 1/2 stars. I purchased a condo here last September. All and all, I'm quite happy living here but somethings have surprised me, considering the cost of the units and the high cost of the monthly HOA fee. As another reviewer here mentioned, cost wise, you should really consider whether it is better to buy or rent here.

In general, this is a building built in 2001, and the units reflect that. Both the bathroom and kitchen have lower end cabinets and fixtures. Due to this, if your used to something a little more high end, you'll most likely have to go through the process of applying to the HOA for replacing these. It's not exactly turnkey.

Another thing that surprised me was the antiquated/outmoded heating system (there is only heating). It's something that was installed, in each individual unit, when the building was built. It's a one of a kind system that's not easily replaceable. There are no instructions/manuals available for it. It's very expensive to run (about 3-times the cost of my previous heating bill, prior to moving here). Kind of crazy for a 900 something sq ft condo.

Then there's the units 7-smoke detectors, 3-hardwired. What the what!? Trust me, it's not at all fun when one goes off as it takes forever to figure out which one it is. I was told by engineering that for the hardwire ones, the whole unit has to be replaced (at my expense).

Also, when the building was originally built, it would have been great if they had installed a water block off for each unit. Whenever any unit has a plumbing repair/upgrade, the water for all the units need to be shut off for 3 to 4 hours.

I really expected a more high end unit and experience.

There are a couple of engineering guys on site, but you quickly learn all that they don't do, as far as the units are concerned. These guys are primarily here to deal with the building itself.

The front desk staff is great. It's always a pleasure interacting with them and they are very customer service oriented.

The main attraction to living here, for me, is being on the lake, with all that has to offer, feeling safe living in this secure building, and how well the building is maintained.”

“My wife and I recently were looking for an apartment in the Oakland area. We found the building manager, Heidi, to be accommodating, kind, and easy to work with in our process. Ultimately we chose to live in a different neighborhood that was more convenient for my commute to SF. However, we very much appreciated Heidi's responsive communication during our application process. Management was a bit more thorough than other buildings and we have high confidence this creates a strong sense of community in the property. We also got the sense that the building and residents are taken care of well by a management team. This isn't the case in all buildings from our research. In many ways, we were sad to not have moved in and if we decide to move closer to the lake in the future we wouldn't hesitate to choose this building.”

“I was a tenant last year. The on-site managers were amazing. They responded to my emails quickly and tried to accommodate my needs asap. Also, they tried to make the place very cozy. They decorated the halls and kitchen for each major holiday. The only thing that sucks is that one of them is a Clippers fan.”

“Marshall, the leasing agent, was incredibly kind and genuinely thoughtful throughout my visit. He took his time showing me all the amenities and never once made me feel rushed. I truly appreciated how comfortable he made the whole experience, it felt like he really cared about helping me find the right place. The apartments themselves are beautiful, surrounded by plenty of trees that make the community feel peaceful and welcoming and the fact that they even have a dog spa was such a delightful surprise! I’m definitely considering making this my new home after the holidays.”

“Rowena was very welcoming and efficient in showing us several units; so far, it's a nice location, good maintenance crew and I like my apartment over playground, pool area and gym. Parking space is located for easy access and departure.”

“This place is amazing . I have been here 6 months and I am so happy . Mandy is definitely the best . Thank u Creekside Terrace apts . For making me feel happy safe and content. ❤️❤️”

“I've lived here for about 3years. It's a quiet friendly building. Nice grounds and incredible gardens. The building was a grand hotel back in the day and still holds the charm and architecture..”

“We’re moving our daughter in next month and want to thanks Priscilla for all her help and guidance through everything. We met with the maintenance supervisor and he also was able to show us around. Thank you and we look forward to visiting our daughter as much as we can!”

“My wife and I just moved in and so far everything is nice. The manager, Laura, was very accommodating and made the move in process friction less. The location is nice too, it is right next to the DVC.”

“Horrible place to live.Roaches everywhere.parking is terrible.They have constant problems with leaking water heaters and pipes .Dangerous mold growing in the walls of apartments and they dont do anything to fix it.”

“I like living here. Sadly, the property company takes advantage of the employees overworked and understaffed. Madison and Gilbert go above & beyond for tenants. If you're considering The Hayden please have grace & patience. They're human & I had to learn that when problems with the unit would arise they would make sure to accommodate me. The employees are not the problem it's the background the management. The employees are trying to do all they can to assist every tenant. God bless them for not giving up and putting in effort.

management company must appreciate these two they both deserve a raise and a break. The load they're carrying to keep The Hayden together is not easy. God bless them for not giving up!”
