What stands out

The views. Many balconies look out over the Carquinez Strait and the hills, and the upper corner units have the best of them. Upper units add vaulted ceilings and a loft that works as an office or guest space.

The location is the other draw. You're next to the Arsenal, with the Clocktower building and the Camel Barn, a few minutes from First Street and the I-780 on-ramp.
