“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.”

“Nice staff. Low price compared to SF. Great amenities. The elevators have been terrible though. Love the high rise view. Parking lot inside the building is really nice. Free EV charging for 4 hours. Really like living here.”

“The new manager is great and I believe the building will improve greatly under her direction. She has always been very friendly and supported my roommates and I with our issues and questions.”

“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.”

“BIG SHOUT OUT TO Devon, Pershante, Miles, and Linn. Going above and beyond to assist me with aquiring a unit of my liking. These individuals displayed pure professionalism, courtesy, and comfort during my time touring. This ultimately led me to pull the trigger on a beautiful unit at the Domain with the help of Devon, who always goes above and beyond, pay this man a bonus! Thanks to Pershante and Miles for extending an invite to interact with the community at Domain, these guys are great. Last but not least, Linn is a bundle of joy and displayed total transparency. I understand people may have their differences and beliefs about the Domain; no apartment complex will be perfect but this complex is truly well rounded enough for my liking!”

“If it wasn’t so the Leasing sales agent and the two maintenance guys i would have moved they make me feel so at home in my home with their quick response to my questions and also getting my maintenance request done quick because of that I’m never have any problems here at the Mason all 3 employees are great at what they do and i thanks yall for always being there when needed and always being understanding”

“I want to thank Brayan Garcia for his excellent service; he has resolved a couple of recent maintenance problems quickly and very much to my satisfaction. He is also, very positive, I feel very confident in him finding the correct solution to any problems.”

“I had an issue with my washing machine when I first moved in and they were unable to fix it. This was on a Friday as you know the weekend was approaching. Herman told me that he would send a technician out and he did on a Saturday! Josue came to fix it but unfortunately they did not have the piece I needed. Josue ensured me he would get it handled for me since I needed to wash as I’d just moved in. He actually came out the next day, early with a whole new washer. Great service!”
