They charge you for all utilities. The noise level is high as the walls are thin. We've had problems with neighbors. The management and staff is mixed...some are friendly, others are not. Do not live here...there are way better and more affordable places in Alameda. This place is expensive and definitely not worth it. They have a pretty big gym for an apartment complex but the equipment is really outdated. Also there have been some problems w/ car break-ins even though the parking is gated.
