Best Burgers in the East Bay | Eater SF

"This popular beer garden is an Oakland institution, known for its lively outdoor patio, boozy slushies, and charred burgers and sausage sandwiches. Those looking for a particularly decadent burger experience can opt for the 5150, which has a patty that’s half beef, half ground-up bacon, or the mac and cheese burger, which is exactly what it sounds like, a burger topped with mac and cheese. Even vegetarians have multiple — well, two — options: an Impossible burger and one featuring a chipotle black bean patty." - Dianne de Guzman

I was searching for a new home for me and my children and Thalia Aguilar responded to our leasing inquiry instantly. I came in for a showing shortly after maybe 1-2hours later.. I have to say it was the most professional leasing tour I have been on. I saw the first unit and was hooked. I did not leave without applying and putting down a deposit. We look forward to moving in next week. Thalia Aguilar is professional, transparent, and personable. She answered all of my questions. I definitely recommend renting at Telegraph Arts.

My experience with Thalia Aguilar has been incredibly positive, she’s someone who truly cares and goes the extra mile. During my move-in process, she was consistently responsive, and on top of every detail. Thanks to her and Oman Hollingsworth, the approval process came together smoothly and stress-free. However, I do want to mention a frustrating part of the process. I had called the leasing office to book a tour and was told everything was confirmed. But when I arrived, there was no one on-site to meet me. This wasn’t just a system error—I had spoken with someone directly, so I expected things to be in order. Since I don’t live nearby, it wasn’t easy for me to come back later, and the delay caused me to miss other scheduled plans. What truly impressed me, though, was Thalia’s response. Even though it was her day off, she showed up just to make sure I could still see the property. That kind of commitment is rare, and it really stood out. Thalia made up for what could have been a very disappointing experience. While the scheduling issue should definitely be addressed, I’m genuinely thankful for her professionalism and care.

Exceptional Service from Assistant Community Manager Thalia Aguilar! I had the pleasure of working with Thalia during my move-in process and I couldn’t be more thankful. She was incredibly helpful, patient, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was taken care of quickly and efficiently. What stood out the most was how Thalia, along with Oman Hollingsworth, handled my approval process and made sure everything was in order for a smooth move-in. Their attention to detail and prompt communication made the entire experience much less stressful. I truly appreciate all their hard work and dedication to making this transition so easy. Highly recommend, if you're looking for a community that is genuinely committed to providing outstanding service.

Unfortunately, I have to leave a negative review for Telegraph Arts Apartments due to ongoing unresolved issues and a concerning lack of responsiveness from property management. The quality of living here has noticeably declined since first moving in, following staff changes. Management has become increasingly inconsistent and inaccessible, with frequent staff turnover and temporary personnel who are difficult to reach. There is no direct phone number for on-site staff--calls are routed to an offshore Greystar corporate line, which rarely results in timely or effective support. The building's maintenance, cleanliness, and overall care have suffered. For example, the elevator was broken for nearly two weeks without caution tape, warning signage, or formal notification to residents—an issue that posed both a safety risk and a major inconvenience. In addition, there was an incident where there was dog feces and large pee stains trailed across the carpeted hallways for days. Residents were forced to avoid the area entirely as it took management and maintenance to follow up days later. (I've included photos below of the pee stains as someone else already uploaded the feces picture before me). Most concerning, however, are the unresolved security issues. Recently, an unknown individual attempted to enter my apartment (and possibly others) around 2 AM on a weekend. I believe he may have been targeting vacant units. Despite emailing management twice--without receiving a response--and eventually confronting staff in person, I received nothing more than an apology. There was no formal follow-up, no increased security presence, and no communication to alert other residents of the potential threat. Alarming behavior like this should never be dismissed. Given the lack of safety, accountability, and basic communication, I cannot recommend living at Telegraph Arts Apartments--especially if security and consistent management are important to you.

I moved to Telegraph Art in September 2019. I lived in apartment 419 for 3 years. Everything was EXCELLENT. But I decided to move to a different apartment in the same building.. I needed something a bit bigger due to the type of work I do. Mahogany started the process very smoothly for me. She guided me throughout the whole application process. She’s professional and knowledgeable. Sanjeeta Lal, the building manager, without wasting any time, approved my application and put me in my new apartment. The process was super smooth. Some things I love about this building/Management. The management is on time with a request. Frequent maintenance/cleaning. They have a cleaner(s) coming in like every other day to make sure every floor is clean and clear. Each floor looks like a 5 star hotel floor. This is what I’ve heard from several friends that had visited. The rooftop is amazing and has an amazing view. You can see almost the whole Oakland and Bay Bridge in 360 degrees. On 4th of July, just go to the rooftop and you can see the fireworks around the Bay Area. There is a nice and well maintained Gym which I use EVERYDAY. Last year 2022, out of 365 days, I went to the gym over 200 days. I love the guy. Hey, it's in the building. All you need is some discipline to get up and go work out. The Amenity Room /conference / mini lounge. This is where you can either do your work (use it as a remote office). Has WIFI and it’s FREE. It has been very useful for me since I started working. The room's ambience is very sophisticated. Besides, you can entertain your guests. It has big screen TVs and very comfortable and sexy looking couches. Thanks to Sanjeeta, Mahogany, and Hassan for making my moving smooth.

Beautiful building, amazing management company, very well kept. Jasmine is the new manager in charge and she is polite, professional and communicates with care and compassion. I loved the building for the time I was there would definitely recommend living there if you want to live in down town Oakland. I would say its perfect for people who commute to the city for work as well because the expressway is right there. thank you Telegraph Arts and Jasmine and her team!

Lived here from March 2022-May 2023. Ryan was the property manager (leasing agent) at the time of my move in. He was very respectful and helpful when it came to any confusion or questions! Management changed to a few random people who seemed to RARELY be in the office during the office hours. Apparently some of their coworkers just don't show up to work (based on their very public Snapchat stories) and we would constantly get emails about the office being closed so if you need help? Good luck. Sanjeeta is the leasing agent at the office who communicates in a very condescending way and doesn't explain things clearly. My roommate overheard her and the ONE maintenance person (Ashan?) speaking about her behind her back when she was on her way to the parking garage. If you need any maintenance assistance you're going to be waiting from about a month to six months to get something fixed. We waited six months to get our shower door fixed so we had to deal with a leaking shower for half a year. Made an appointment? He's probably not going to show up on time or be a few hours late. Parking garage: $200 Paying $200 for a parking garage that breaks down at least a couple times a month. If you have somewhere to be and it's broken you have no other choice but to wait for it to get fixed. They do reimburse you if you take Uber though. Trash: Trash is CONSTANTLY blocked. It's not so much the agents or maintenance fault in this issue. People here will stuff all their trash in the room, making it extremely full and disgusting. The chutes are super tiny and could barely fit a normal trash bag down. Lounge: It's a nice space but they just don't refill the snack machine lol. Some of the items in there are expired as well. Gym: Pretty good! No complaints Rooftop: Amazing view of Oakland and even San Francisco. Lights never turn on at night though. Mail: Pretty safe and has Amazon lockers. Neighborhood: Super lively and surrounded by several Bars, First Fridays, Restaurants. Only downside is the car break ins but that's a common issue throughout the Bay.

Very unprofessional! Me and my husband went to look at two bedrooms and applied the same day. I never got an email stating they excepted us but we got emails saying to log into a residential portal and set up utilities. We tried calling/emailing for three days with no response, we just kept getting redirected to their corporate office. Then after day three I got an email saying to pay a deposit and our move in date was the next day, before we even signed a lease agreement and before anyone got in contact with us to inform us of our acceptance. Big red flag if this is how they operate before we even got a chance to move in.

Some of the most despicable people on the planet who don't know how appreciate good tenants and are only in the business of screwing over their tenants which is akin slumlords. Specific examples of management's incompetent and lack of care is 1) they don't take care of the common areas wherein either dog or human feces where left over the course of multiple days without being picked up or clean 2) there have been multiple and recurring instances of people or dogs urinating in the elevators 3) they fired the building caretaker who have been doing a great job keeping the apartment building safe and clean 4) all this wouldn't happen if management really wanted to do the right thing by its tenants

I wrote a review but Yelp wants to know what they can do better. A new leasing agent would be a start.

Built in 2019 this is a brand new apartment at Oakland and it's very near to 19st Bart. It also has Gated Electronic Entrance, Rooftop Terrace and Co-Working Lounge. The apartment has great floor plans and has great amenities. What I really like about their floor plans is that, even though they are same 850sq feet (like any other apartments) the house seems quite spacious. Kitchen has beautiful and modern fixtures. I specially liked their counter tops. It has good staff and service is amazing! Overall it is a good apartment.

Today I wasted an hour of my precious time at Telegrapharts. I had an appointment to see a one-bedroom apartment at noon. When I got there, no one was in the office. Sanjeeta Lal arrived 15 minutes late and had no idea who I was or why I was there. She asked me for my photo I.D. before she ever introduced herself so I asked her for her identification. She said, "I work here." Well, I knew that but I'd like to know her name. She gave me her card with her named inked in above someone else's. How do I know that she was who was supposed to be there? The card said Ryan Thomas. She kept acting like she was doing me a favor. When she asked which unit I was interested in and I said a one-bedroom. I already relayed that on the phone. The kicker is that she looked on her computer and told me there were no one-bedrooms to show. I asked, "why are you wasting my time?" "Why would you make an appointment to show a one bedroom if you don't have one?" She pointed to the website and said, "it says right here it isn't available until the start of next month." So now it's self-service sales? "I know what it says, but if you don't have a model to show, why did you make a reservation to show me one?" She was so unprepared but so ready to lecture me. I'm about twice her age, employed full time and have a great rental history. It was such a Mickey Mouse operation that I would hate to see how they manage the units. It gets a little tiring when people who are supposed to know about customer service behave as if they are superior and doing me a favor. I wouldn't waste my money at Telegraph Arts after that experience. Darcy K.

Jennifer gave me a great tour exactly what I needed to see and know. She was very detail oriented & beyond pleasant. Sophie the property manager was also very informative in addition to Jennifer.

I love my building and my management. I recently moved into the Telegraph Arts building and I think the apartments and facilities are very well clean kept. Ausun the building supervisor is so kind and professional. He really treats you with the highest level of care and service any time you interact with him. Sophie our property manager is such a joy, she's super responsive, professional, detail oriented and she also takes pride in her work. Jennifer showed us our apartment and tour and is really pleasant as well! I appreciate this building, I feel safe in the building, and well taken care of. This is a great community to live in and I would recommend! Thank you Telegraph Arts for our experience in Oakland!

The experience certainly could have been better. I toured the apartments on March 6th. I do appreciate the associate doing a same-day tour, but it was a poor experience. As someone else has mentioned, the price online is totally different from what they quote you in person. I've toured eight apartment communities in the area and this apartment is the only facility where I encountered that. Throughout the tour, the building just reeked of weed. It was penetrating through every floor. After the tour, there was no follow-up as promised with the actual price of the units we viewed. I see now they have removed all the prices from the site which is even more sketchy. I called and left a voicemail but never received a response so I'll take that as a sign,

I've enjoyed living here so far. The apartment is beautiful, spacious, bright and quiet. I've had no maintenance issues or anything, and all the shared spaces have been kept clean and safe during Covid. The new property manager Shantel is great; she helped me secure a parking spot in the garage with just a day's notice. Convenient location too!

Andy N.

Yelp
Shantel, Dken, and Hassan do really good work and have made my stay here awesome. They definitely could use some additional staff as the cleanliness for shared spaces is inconsistent and some level of security at night due to occasional people camping by the door to sneak in (this feels like more of a business issue rather than reflection on the folks above)

Leasing office and staff are great! Best view of downtown Oakland and San Francisco from the rooftop of the 13 apartment complexes we visited. Great common area spaces and well appointed apartment units. We are very happy here in uptown Oakland!

Big shout-out to Lina! She's very professional, warm, and friendly. She went above and beyond to help us choose the best apartment that meets our expectation and took note of every little feedback that we had during the tour. Definitely the most economical deals in modern luxury apartment without any sacrifice in amenities, size, or layout. Even though it only opened several weeks ago, I saw Telegraph Arts already has a lot of new residents moving in.
