This is great news- this walkable and transit friendly lot has been vacant for far too long! It will be s welcome addition to the neighborhood.
Thank God. That ugly empty lot has been an eyesore. A little bit better every year.
And where will all the caregivers and still able to drive seniors park their cars??? And seniors riding a bike, in Oakland? Who is the joker who thought that up???
Any word on when they will start taking applications or whats the process for applying for one of the units ?
This is NOT housing for seniors! Please correct this, you are confusing people.
My sister and I or looking for senior housing. We would like to know how to apply for lodging at the new senior housing located at 4311 MacArthur Blvd and High Street, Oakland,Ca. Or any other of your senior housing facilities that have openings.
EXACTLY LINDA SOL!!!!
I’m a senior citizen looking for housing I’d like to know how to apply
Senior living sounds good. What about parking?
I’m a senior I would like to know when opening and how can I apply?
I’m a senior veteran and I’m requesting information to apply for 4311 MacArthur.
Hi my name is Annette Walker I would like to apply for an apt for I am a senior citizen and very interested please let me know what I need to do to apply ASAP thank you
So glad to see this! However, 8 parking slots for 200 apartments? That nuts. And not sure how many senior will use the 200 bike spaces. Hope it’s affordable. We don’t need any more “luxury” joints in Oakland. We need affordable homes for workers, teachers, etc.
200 units , retail, and 8 parking places.
What about visitors parking, venders,moving tracks and delivery trucks.
only street parking.
Application or waiting list
I can see that the shell has been put up but I don’t think that any work has happened in months. Has this project been put on hold?
Please advise when the application process is made available.
