Bay Meadows

There’s a new friendly face on the scene at Bay Meadows, and she’s here to make your living experience even smoother. Meet Isabella, our new Senior Assistant General Manager for the Bay Meadows Apartment Collection! With 7 years in the industry and a deep passion for helping people find not just an apartment—but a home—Isabella brings a wealth of experience and heart to her work.

Her day-to-day includes everything from assisting residents with renewals and ledger questions to making sure each unit is move-in ready for new neighbors. Isabella’s hands-on approach ensures that no detail goes unnoticed, and she’s always eager to support the leasing team with anything that arises. “I love getting to know residents and their families,” she shares. “Learning their life path and how they came to the Bay Area makes every day special. It’s incredibly rewarding to help someone find their new home and share a bit of kindness along the way.”

Isabella is drawn to Bay Meadows for the same reasons many of our residents are—its lush green spaces, walkable design, and a lifestyle that strikes the perfect balance between active and relaxed. When she’s off the clock, you might catch her hiking a local trail, planning her next scuba dive (fun fact: her favorite dive site is the Great Barrier Reef!), or enjoying the great outdoors with her dog, Nash. “Bay Meadows stands out because of the greenery, friendly neighbors and relaxed lifestyle it offers,” she says. “Bay Meadows Park is my favorite—it’s the perfect place to let Nash run and play in the evenings with its open layout and peaceful walking paths.”

At Bay Meadows, we know that home doesn’t just mean a place to rest your head—it’s where your whole family, pups included, feels welcomed. That’s why The Apartment Collection at Bay Meadows is designed with dog-friendly features like pet washing stations, nearby trails like the Bay Trail and Seal Slough, and easy access to wide-open green spaces such as Bay Meadows Park and Landing Green. Isabella especially recommends our ground-floor flats with large patios at Field House and The Morgan—perfect for pet parents who want seamless access to outdoor space for quick walks or lazy lounge days with their four-legged companions.

Nash, Isabella’s five-year-old rat terrier mix, has definitely given the neighborhood two paws up. A self-described homebody, Nash enjoys sleeping in the sun, chewing on bones, and strolling to the park when it’s quiet enough to claim the whole space for his signature roll-around routine. With direct access to nearby greens, patios to soak up the sun, and a like-minded community of dog lovers, it’s easy to see why dogs (and their humans) feel right at home here.

And with new patio dining destinations like Bahche, Sidewalk Juice, and The Breakfast Club popping up in Town Square, Isabella is looking forward to exploring more of the neighborhood’s walkable charm. “I can’t wait to grab a juice after the gym or sit down with my husband and Nash for a weekend brunch,” she says. “It’s peaceful, convenient, and makes life feel that much fuller.”

Next time you’re in the neighborhood, stop by and say hi to Isabella—she might just help you find your next home… and make a new furry friend along the way.

Experience Midurban life. Bay Meadows is a family-friendly neighborhood with lots of open space to enjoy all-year long.
