All about this rental
The Telegraph Lofts project consisted of the conversion and renovation of the old Sears Roebuck building located on Telegraph Avenue in Oakland, California. This Art Deco building was constructed in 1929 and remodeled in 1963 to "modernize" the facade and provide more structural stability. Sears department store occupied the building until 1993. The 144,000 sf structure had been vacant prior to the re-development.
Completed in 2002, the building contains 54 live/work units comprising 64,446 square feet, as well as 11,000 square feet of retail and 28,000 square feet of self-storage space. In addition to the new penthouse level that was added, the center of the old Sears building was opened up to create the open-air atrium that now serves as the centerpiece of the building.

Reviews summary
Telegraph Lofts in Downtown Oakland is praised by many residents for its convenient location and spacious units, making it appealing to professionals and families alike. Several long-term residents highlight the sense of community and the friendly neighbors, which enhance the living experience. The property is noted for its gated access and courtyard, contributing to a sense of security. However, some reviews mention noise as a minor issue, although it seems to be expected given the urban setting.
Earlier management issues have been acknowledged, particularly a lack of presence and maintenance challenges from mid-2020 to mid-2021. These issues appear to have improved with the arrival of a new manager who has been positively highlighted, despite limited resources. A few reviews point out minor maintenance delays, such as waiting for a closet rod, but these seem to be addressed promptly by the responsive staff. Package security is a noted concern, prompting some residents to have packages delivered elsewhere.
This summary was generated by AI, based on insights from user-submitted reviews. Point2Homes is not responsible for the original content of the reviews. Please read full reviews for more detailed insights.
