The Lake Merritt - Independent Senior Living

The Lake Merritt is a special one-of-a-kind independent lifestyle community. Designed especially for older adults who want to remain active and engaged with life, we are located directly on Lake Merritt. Our community enjoys gracious living in a grand Art Deco Mediterranean-style building hailed by the San Francisco Chronicle as "A Jewel on the Lake." We are proud of our talented and caring staff, our distinctive location and resident-driven programming. Residents appreciate our spacious apartments, many with views of our cityscape or the lake, which offer all the charms of home. Each airy and light-filled apartment features a full kitchen, walk-in shower, high ceilings, plus 24-hour staffing and housekeeping. Delicious and healthy meals are served in our acclaimed public restaurant, The Terrace Room. Our lake-front location is at the center of Oakland's renaissance, with arts, culture, shopping, transportation and lots more just steps away. People love living here!
