Distinctive Senior Living in the Bay Area
Since 1966, Grand Lake Gardens has offered quality senior housing and apartments in a community setting. A mix of the known and the new, of serenity and surprise is what has made Grand Lake Gardens appealing for more than 43 years.
Grand Lake Gardens is a diverse, nonsectarian retirement community in the Bay Area. Right in the heart of Oakland and the East Bay, our senior living community is conveniently located for easy access to many great amenities. Freeway proximity allows friends and families to reach you quickly and visit you more often. Ready links to public transportation are a benefit as well. Our city buses can take you to BART, and our van transports residents to community excursions.
All within walking distance, residents enjoy a library, restored movie house, post office, coffee house, ethnic restaurants, and clothing boutiques.
On site, we offer a variety of entertaining and enriching social, wellness and educational activities. Our dining room has a panoramic view of the Oakland Hills, and nearby is Lake Merritt, where our residents enjoy beautiful walking paths.
Right in the heart of our senior living community is the serenity of nature, as well. An outstanding bird and wildlife sanctuary, the fountain of our Zen garden, and a lovely courtyard delight our residents. Garden spots are provided for residents who wish to have a planting area. The garden is so lush and natural that it meets the requirements of the National Wildlife Federation!
In our intimate setting, you’ll find the privacy you desire, but you’ll never be isolated. Residents have varied interests, and there are always plenty of activities for everyone to enjoy.
