I will say that I loved my unit. We rented when it was brand new, however you could see that the materials used weren't meant to last very long. The carpet is pretty cheap. The paint is even cheaper. We scuffed it on move in and then when I tried to clean the scuff off the paint started coming off as well. The bathroom sink's faucet was definitely installed too far back from the bowl and as a result prepare to get your entire countertop wet when you wash your hands. Overall luxury is only surface level and the only advantage this complex had was being brand new, but it's been over

We had a terrible time at Alexan Webster. We had to move out after about 6 weeks because the noise from the nearby AU lounge was so loud on the weekends no one in my family could sleep. We complained to management, to the City of Oakland, and we called the police non-emergency number but nothing helped. We ended up spending a lot of money on hotels during the weekends just so we could sleep. Management was very nice, and the building was beautiful. We wish this would have worked out.

This complex is like living in one of those sci-fi/dystopian nightmares where you are constantly being monitored by Big Brother... They watch every move you make and any small infraction leads to a vicious warning and threats of you getting removed. Even when following their overly strict guidelines, your guests will be detained and questioned. This feels almost like a prison situation. The staff is extremely rude and only friendly when they are trying to get information from you or your guests to use against you. After a while, you won't even want to use the facilities that you are entitled

There are plenty of new construction apartments nearby that offer similar amenities/floor plans but the management and policies here are subpar for the rent being charged. I don't think this is a bad place to live, but it is overpriced for the experience.
Pros - new apartments, modern finishes, good amenities, near transportation/restaurants, pet friendly. The building also had a good initial response/plan to COVID19.
Cons -
1. You can hear your upstairs neighbors even if they're just walking around. We talked to our upstairs neighbors and they had carpet everywhere so it is likely

We lived in this place for a year and loved it. Terrific management. Jasmine and Rafael were alway on top of everything. The building was extremely clean and the neighborhood was great. 5 mins walk to whole foods and target both can spoil anyone easily. Lake Merritt is less than 5 mins away by walk.
Sad that we had to move.

I really hate to do this, but it feels like this is my last resort at getting better customer service from this building's management. The so called outdoor fitness center has been open for a few months now and it feels like they do nothing but put obstacles in the way of you using the equipment. They started out by sending a notice that it was open and saying that you could go downstairs and request a time or email them with a request, but when we tried to do it in person they said we would have to send an email a day in advance, and did not allow me to use the equipment that day and there

Units are great. Decor and lobby are phenomenal.
A true luxury complex with a few key deficiencies you wouldn't even find at other lower-end complexes.
1. Love the central AC in the units -- but so very loud. It is not a minor nuisance. It is LOUD when it cranks up and when it turns off. It could just be my unit but given I moved in when it was new...
2. NO where to dispose of large items. They make you call your own personal hauling service to get rid of big items like mattresses etc...
3. Packages can be stolen. Why? The packages come and are scattered across the lobby. Anyone who has

About a month in, still troubleshooting some features of the apartment. It's become apparent that their building inspection upon completion is not as thorough as it should be. The front call box also currently doesn't work. Be aware that your new apartment will need to get some kinks worked out. Thankfully, the front office is still responsive and friendly.

I have to agree with the previous reviewer. This place is amazing and slightly more affordable than other new constructions in the area. The HUGE pool, massive jacuzzi and commuter bikes you can checkout are amazing amenities. I love the new stainless applicances and W/D in every apartment. The apt layouts, proximity to the train the lake and many bars and restaurants are the reason we chose Alexan Webster to be our new home. The area is about to seriously pop off. Oakland's diversity and culture and creative energy are underappreciated. It should also be noted that Rafael and Jasmine are

Very pleased with Alexan Webster so far! Moved in a couple days ago and my unit was clean and everything is working properly. Rafael & Jasmine in the leasing office have been very helpful, responsive to questions, and accommodating throughout the entire leasing to move in process. We even got 6 weeks free of rent as a move in special! The units are modern and sleek, wit higher ceilings than most buildings nearby. The parking garage is very secure, pool and gym are nice, there's great natural light in the units, and the location is very walkable and close to lots of restaurants, bars, whole
