There is nothing common about West River Commons. The mixed-use apartments generate their own kind of energy, fed even more by the Mississippi River flowing below the bluff. Other apartments may boast a great location, and still others convenience and luxury. But a rare few bring it all together in a lifestyle available to anyone. Whether you use West River Commons to relax, energize, or both, you will love to call it home. Live at street level in a two-story rowhouse or overlooking the river valley in one of the best penthouse suites you will find. Standard apartments boast lots of light and modern floor plans which will not cramp your style. With community favorites like the Longfellow Grill right in the building, West River Commons is a Longfellow neighborhood gathering spot. Entertain friends, clients, and yourself without any effort at all. In addition, West River Parkway and the Mississippi biking and running trail system are right out your door. Commuters love that the light rail line is only five minutes away, and your own car will always be protected in heated underground parking. Life on the river is certainly grand!
