5 Embarcadero

A mid-rise condominium complex built in 1974 and standing five stories, this community primarily offers one-bedroom residences arranged in walk-up and elevator-served blocks. Architecture is utilitarian mid‑century with broad balconies and waterfront-facing orientations on portions of the site. Interiors typically feature open living areas, eat-in kitchens or breakfast bars, hardwood or updated flooring in renovated units, and one full bathroom; many homes include full‑length balconies with external storage. Common areas read as resort-style for their era: landscaped grounds along the estuary, an outdoor swimming pool and spa, tennis courts, a club room and a fitness center. Site services include secured entry, assigned resident parking plus guest spaces, bicycle storage, on‑site laundry facilities, and elevator access to upper floors. Pet policies vary by unit and management but the community overall emphasizes long-term residency and seasonal social programming tied to nearby Jack London Square. Located at the water’s edge by the Jack London Square estuary, the complex places residents within easy walking distance of ferry terminals, Amtrak and BART, restaurants, markets and waterfront paths, combining a commuter-friendly transit node with recreational waterfront living.
