Amenities designed for community and convenience

The benefits of living at ALVERA by Common don’t end at your apartment door. Your rent includes access to beautiful amenity spaces, including a penthouse club room with a kitchen and a rooftop deck, fireplace, and grills. Gather with friends for a sunset BBQ, or head to the arcade area for a game of darts or skee ball. Save money on an expensive gym membership with ALVERA by Common’s fitness center, and enjoy biking throughout beautiful St. Paul knowing your bike is safe in the building’s bike storage. Even the building’s facade offers something to appreciate: a 5 story high art installation by Aaron de la Cruz. Other conveniences include storage lockers and a package center.

Everything you need right outside your door

ALVERA by Common is centrally located on West 7th Street, the vibrant strip of bars, restaurants, breweries and iconic St. Paul history the neighborhood is named for. Start your day just around the corner at Cafe Astoria or Hope Breakfast Bar for a cup of coffee, a pastry, or even a full-breakfast in two equally cozy and comfortable spaces. Walk across the street to Irvine Park to enjoy your morning next to the park’s historic fountain, or stroll through the Irvine Park Historic District and admire the century’s old, well preserved mansions. When it’s time for a real meal you have your fair share of places to pick from. Mancini’s Char House is a St. Paul classic, serving up steaks, lobsters, shrimp, and salads. For days on the go, stop by Cosetta, an Italian marketplace and pizzeria. West 7th St. is also the location of two amazing breweries: Bad Weather Brewing Company and Waldmann Brewery and Wurstery. (If you’re not sure what a Wurstery is, it means they make and serve up delicious Bratwurst sausages.) ALVERA by Common is also located across the street from The Children's Minnesota Hospital and United Hospital, making it the ideal home for locals working in the medical field. You’re also only a short drive away from the State Capitol, the Science Museum, Xcel Energy Center, RiverCenter, Roy Wilkins Auditorium, and the Ordway.
