Emeryville is a small community right in the heart of the Bay Area, part of greater Oakland’s north side and sitting right at the foot of the Bay Bridge into San Francisco. The art scene thrives here, with hundreds of painters, musicians, and filmmakers working around town. Pixar has its headquarters in the middle of the city and serves as the Emeryville’s largest employer, so there’s a good chance of rubbing elbows with some extremely creative neighbors once you move to a rental in Emeryville.
The waterfront Bay Street Emeryville offers upscale shopping in a uniquely “main street” environment, while the Public Market offers a boutique dining experience with nearly a dozen specialty cafes under one roof.

Property Ratings at Watergate

Would never live here again if they paid me
They really got me with the beauty of the Bay. It’s one of the most gorgeous places I’ve lived in the Bay Area, I was really excited moving in. Sad to say that within a few weeks that excitement wore off real quick. From the incredibly rude staff, nickel and diming for every random thing, dysfunctional everything, and so many ridiculous rules, this place turned what could have been an amazing living experience into something to be dreaded. It sucks because I had really high hopes, there are some nice amenities and the location is so peaceful, but at the end of the day, not nearly worth the stress caused by management. Definitely would never buy or rent from here again.
9/1/15
Good
The buildings are some what outdated, but the location is beautiful.
