Rasa Apartments

"My previous review was removed. I left the Rasa in 2021 after nearly 2 years. During that time I had two bikes stolen (on two different occasions). Additionally, I had my storage unit broken into (which was in the building and required a key fob to enter the storage room). If you have any concern for security, I would look elsewhere. After each incident I was told that I could file a report with the police, very helpful!"

"I moved into Rasa apartments April 2022 and from day one it has been a great experience. They were very easy to communicate with, very upfront with what was needed, and made sure my transition into the building was quick and easy. The complex’s amenities are very useful and easy to access. Nice weight room that is really private and safe. Office room where you can print and have a quiet place to work. A movie room, and the roof top with an amazing view which is probably my favorite. The building itself is very clean and well taken care of. The leasing office was always very polite and helpful when needed. Whenever I had an issue with anything in my apartment they made sure it was taken care of as fast as possible. Would definitely recommend!"

"My review is not from a current tenant POV but from a prospective tenant. It was a hard decision but we ultimately decided not to go with Rasa. My experience working with Nesi at Rasa Apartments was nothing short of amazing. My wife and I have toured about 8 other properties in downtown Oakland and she was by far the best agent we’ve dealt with. From the tours when we initially met her, all the way up until the application process, her communication was both helpful and extremely fast. I never had to call multiple times or send follow up emails as she would answer my calls or return my emails same day and sometimes only an hour after. Again, ultimately my wife and I decided to stay at our current property since they gave us a great deal and moving units would be extremely convenient for us given that we have a young daughter. If it weren’t for that, I would definitely choose Rasa even just for the level of service I received from Nesi."

"This place is beautiful! Lots of amenities inside and within the community. The rooftop was my favorite hang out spot to get a breath of fresh air and view the city. My kids favorite areas were the theater room or gym. Definitely recommended if you want access to all the great food and events in the downtown Oakland area! My family and I will miss this place!"

"Rasa has been home to my husband and I for more than a year now. We love being in a busy area that is in the heart of uptown Oakland and also in a more safer pocket of Oakland. It’s a walkable area with many awesome places at stones throw from the building, be it coffee, cocktails, bakeries, great food, and not to forget Lake Merritt! Apart from the brilliant location, the building amenities are really nice with a clean gym, a quiet work space with free printing credits every month, an indoor hangout spot, a lovely rooftop that offers beautiful views spanning from Berkeley to SF. The rooftop also has a nice seating area with a fire pit and barbecue grills. Both indoor common area and the rooftop are open for friends and family. We’ve had a great time here and being on the 6th floor, we’re truly rewarded with lovely views!"
