407 Orange St

A mid-century low-rise condominium complex in Oakland’s Adams Point, built in 1970, comprising roughly 30 residences arranged over a few stories with elevator access. The façade and massing reflect pragmatic 1970s multifamily design with modest common entrances and landscaped street setbacks that provide a leafy, semi-private feel. Units are predominately one- and two-bedroom condos, many corner or top-floor homes, featuring private balconies or terraces and abundant natural light thanks to large windows and dual-pane replacements in many homes. Interiors in individual units vary widely because of owner-driven renovations: contemporary kitchens with stone counters and stainless appliances, remodeled bathrooms with modern tile and fixtures, recessed lighting, and upgraded laminate or hardwood-look flooring are common. Building amenities include secured garage parking with deeded spaces, elevator service, on-floor laundry in some homes, and a small, neighborly scale that encourages a community atmosphere. Pet-friendly policies are typical, and the association appears professionally managed with FHA approval indicated in listings. The property sits on a green, tree-lined block within walking distance of Lake Merritt, Whole Foods, Grand and Piedmont Avenues, transit options including BART and nearby freeway access, farmers’ markets, restaurants, and parks—offering a blend of quiet residential character and immediate urban convenience.
