Lake Merritt Real Estate
Lake Merritt is one of Oakland's crown jewels, and therefore Lake Merritt real estate is some of the most desirable in the City. Both it's beauty and historical significance are the main reasons for Lake Merritt's popularity. The Lake has the distinction of being the first wildlife refuge in the country, thanks to former Oakland Mayor Samuel Merritt. It was originally a marsh, which is why it is still home to several bird species.
The Grand Lake Theatre is the prominent landmark of this area, as well as the famous Rose Garden. Lakeshore avenue is one of Oakland's busiest retail sectors with restaraunts, coffee shops, clothing and specialty stores, and with the coming Trader Joe's store set to be constructed at the former Albertson's location, it's sure to get even busier.
While in the old days Lake Merritt real estate consisted of mostly single family residences, recent years have seen condominium conversions and construction on the rise. You have probaby noticed some significant changes over that past several years such as the addition of Lake Chalet, and the ongoing project to create access from the Oakland Estuary to the Lake. Soon, small sailboats will be able to leave the lake and navigate the Estuary, and vice versa.
