Really enjoying living at Alexan Webster. Beyond the apartment and the amenities that the building offers, I love the neighborhood. Fun, vibrant, great restaurants & bars. Convenient shopping and close to the lake and Bart.
All combined this make Alexan Webster the perfect place for me! The leasing team and staff are friendly and outgoing, and the vibe of the residents is cool.

I’ve lived here for 6 months so far. This complex is the best apt I’ve lived by far. The leasing team (especially Rafael and Jasmine) are incredibly helpful, responsible and good at their jobs. The complex is super clean and brand new. Amazing security!
Someone attempted to break in to steal bikes from the bike took two days in a roll. Rafael and Jasmine were responsible for pulling resource to monitor cameras 24/7. Their dedication and hard work prevented the thieves from stealing bikes and police arrested them before the crime took place!!
The building and apartments are beautiful! You can see for yourself on the tour.
This is a review for Marlene Williams! She gives her all and more as a property manager. While I lived there, she helped with recommendations on getting a regular housekeeper, getting me a new key when I lost mine, and overall friendly and truly attentive. She is a face I looked forward to seeing and chatting with.
Sadly, I had to move, but she didn’t make it awkward (like it can be sometimes). Marlene called me to let me know when the walkthrough was, the move out cleaning process, and deposit. She was gracious enough to open the loading dock and wait for me to finish after hours. Marlene wished me well and even sent follow up messages about my deposit.
Highly recommend to building but Marlene made it feel like home!
After a month at the Alexan, I'm so glad I decided to live here despite being initially concerned by all the negative reviews. This is a great building in a great neighborhood.
Highlights:
Exceptional value for money with amazing amenities (pool, coworking space, gym, etc.) and convenient location
Outstanding and caring on-site staff (s/o to Tiarah, Derwin, Ramon, and Angel)
Strong sense of community with friendly neighbors and an active building group chat
Responsive maintenance team and well maintained property with regular cleaning
Addressing common concerns:
Safety: I've never personally felt unsafe and think Oakland is comparable to other urban areas, use normal precautions
Noise: The pool area locks at 10 PM (think this is a new policy), and I've never had any noise issues
Fire alarms: There have been no building-wide alarms in my time here although the in unit ones are a bit sensitive (update there was just one on 9/22 at 9:45pm that lasted 10 min)
Loading dock: Can be messy at times but convenient for disposal/moving; management is a bit lax about controlling access
Minor drawbacks:
The buzzer system doesn't work, and you can't get extra keys made; it's a pain to let visitors / guests in and when you have deliveries
The leasing process was slower than I would have liked and required a lot of follow ups
There can be some street trash outside the back entrances of the building that gets rummaged through on trash days

Angel was kind enough to tour us around when we stopped in to see Alexan Webster. We were very impressed with the complex and Angel did a fantastic job touring us through and discussing all the amenities. We left feeling very confident that this was the place to live. Although we had toured many of the other buildings in the area, all of which were beautiful as well, Angel made us feel really comfortable with our decision. We're glad to be a part of the community.

The leasing team is awesome and made the experience great. Althea took me on the virtual tour and always was available for questions. The move-in went smoothly and the apartment is very nice and very quiet. The building is clean and so far I couldn't be happier for choosing this apartment complex.

I love the building and the location. Thees apartments had the best layouts and the cheapest rents of all the new apartments that started popping up in Oakland. My apartment gets lots of natural light during the day. The appliances are spankin new stainless appliances which I love. Additionally, the staff is really nice to me. The place does not feel sterile like many apartments can feel. Also the neighbors seem like really nice people.

This building is incredible. The location (views of the bay and the lake), the amenities (pool, hot tub, sky deck, full gym, assist in move) and the rooms themselves (all new appliances, building built in 2019).
But, what you can’t see immediately from a tour is the staff. Antoinette is delightful, she zooms around making you feel welcome, at ease, and supported, while providing a 10 star experience. Duane’s kind support makes the leasing process easy. And Raphael, to quote my brother, is a wizard. There isn’t a problem you can throw at the staff that they can’t handle, leaving you overjoyed you decided to live at the Alexan Webster.
You need to call the leasing office today to schedule a tour. It will be the best decision you make in 2020.
