466 Crescent St

Crescent Villas is a mid-rise residential condominium complex in Oakland’s Grand Lake neighborhood, constructed in 1971. The property is organized into multi-story wings surrounding landscaped courtyards and an interior atrium, with units largely laid out as three-bedroom residences. Architectural character reflects a late-20th-century multifamily aesthetic: low- to mid-height massing, covered balconies or private terraces, and common corridors served by at least one elevator. Interiors typically emphasize open/shared living spaces—living room with fireplace, adjacent dining or breakfast areas, eat-in kitchens with breakfast bars, and abundant natural light from large windows or dual-pane upgrades. Floors vary between hardwood-look surfaces and tile; several units have been modernized with granite or stone counters and stainless-steel appliances. Building amenities focus on communal living and convenience: a secured, gated underground garage with deeded parking and interior elevator access; on-site laundry facilities; a clubhouse or community room; outdoor pool; and a dog run. Systems and access include key-fob/security entry and elevator service to parking. The property’s location places it within easy walking distance of Lake Merritt, Grand and Lakeshore Avenues’ restaurants and shops, farmer’s market, transit lines (AC Transit, nearby BART), and freeway access, supporting a highly walkable, urban-suburban lifestyle.
