490 Temperance St

A mid-rise condominium development completed in 2005, this collection of one-bedroom and studio residences occupies an award-winning urban village near Wacouta Commons Park in Saint Paul. The architecture blends contemporary materials — stone, stucco, metal, engineered wood and steel siding — with loft-inspired features such as oversized windows and exposed concrete floors in some units. Interiors typically showcase open floor plans, high ceilings, maple or Brazilian cherry hardwoods, granite countertops, stainless appliances and flexible bedroom/office layouts; several homes offer private decks or patios and fireplaces. Common areas are landscaped and oriented to the adjacent park, and the building provides practical conveniences including heated underground assigned parking with EV charging in some stalls, additional storage rooms, and in-unit laundry in many units. Outdoor living is supported by grill-ready patios and walkable connections to neighborhood green space. The property sits steps from transit, the farmer’s market, theaters, sports venues and a dense mix of shops, restaurants and breweries, delivering an urban, walkable lifestyle with a balance of durable contemporary finishes and practical building systems.
