Life in Temescal has a rhythm all its own, where tree-lined streets sit a few doors down from art galleries, boutique shops, and a growing food scene. With a Walk Score of 98 and a Bike Score of 93, this connected corner of North Oakland makes it easy to keep your day moving. A coffee run, Sunday's farmers market, or an evening at a corner bar, it all happens close enough that you rarely need to grab the car keys. At 4801 Shattuck, our apartments in Temescal, Oakland, welcome you right into that mix, with our community set right on Shattuck Avenue and just around the corner from Telegraph Avenue. 

Whether you're meeting friends downtown or heading out for work, everything you need stays close. That's the everyday upside of calling Temescal home: a place that keeps up with you, whatever the week looks like.

Easy Access Across Oakland and the East Bay

Your home at 4801 Shattuck is just blocks from Telegraph Avenue, with Shattuck Avenue itself running straight into the Grove Shafter Freeway (SR-24), the two main routes that connect Temescal to the rest of Oakland. Getting to Kaiser Permanente's medical campus takes less than 10 minutes, and Pixar Animation Studios in Emeryville is just as close. From there, UC Berkeley and the college town that surrounds it are a short drive away, full of restaurants, shops, and live music.

Day-to-day errands are just as easy, with Temescal Plaza and Whole Foods Market both less than five minutes from home. And on the days you'd rather not reach for the keys? AC Transit lines 6, 12, 18, 57, and 800 all stop close by, and MacArthur BART and Rockridge BART put regional rail within reach, too. Between the freeway and the transit options, downtown Oakland, Berkeley, and Emeryville are all easily accessible.
