This 12-unit apartment complex in the Gold Coast neighborhood is located on the southwestern edge of Lake Merritt near Downtown Oakland. The neighborhood derives its name from the elegant mansions constructed there in the late 1800s and early 1900s, including the Camron-Stanford House and the August Schilling Mansion. The area was designated a historic district in 1980 due to the large number of architecturally significant structures within its boundaries.

This neighborhood is in walking distance of many dining, shopping, and entertainment opportunities in Jack London Square, Chinatown, the Uptown, and the Grand Lake and Lakeshore districts. The renovated historic Paramount and Fox theaters located in the nearby Uptown district on Broadway and Telegraph Avenue feature a wide variety of shows and entertainment.
