2137 Otis Dr

A single‑story mid‑century condominium complex built in 1966 that clusters two‑bedroom residences around landscaped lagoon frontage and internal courtyards. Units are predominantly open‑plan 2‑bedroom, 2‑bath layouts with eat‑in kitchens, breakfast nooks, walk‑in closets and enclosed patios or sunrooms that function as offices or bonus spaces. The architecture reflects mid‑century modern sensibilities: low horizontal massing, stepped entry courts, decorative fountains and a circular drive with rose plantings framing the main arrival. Common areas emphasize recreation and social life — a heated lagoon‑side pool, tennis court, fitness room and sauna, billiards and party room with kitchen, outdoor barbecue/grill patios and community gardens. Practical conveniences include gated underground/deeded parking with storage cabinets, two passenger elevators, on‑site laundry or washers on each floor in some buildings, secure entry and routine HOA management. Pet policies, precise parking assignments and HOA dues vary by unit; many listings highlight dual‑pane windows, updated kitchens and baths, and recent painting or flooring upgrades. Located in Alameda’s South Shore neighborhood, the complex sits steps from South Shore Shopping Center, shoreline trails, ferry and bus connections, beaches, parks and local schools, offering a relaxed waterfront lifestyle with easy Bay Area transit access.
