Love living here

Van Alen is an amazing living community. You are certainly getting what you pay for. The pool area is beautiful and neighbors are always active and happy to share the communal spaces. The coffee machine in the lobby does the job. The gym has a lot you would need in addition to a sauna! Overall, love living here!

Van Alen

The Van Alen is great and it is really close to the downtown area, which is great for walking to bars and restaurants. The apartment is really nice and the amenities.

I love the Van Alen.

Safe, thick walls with no sound pollution, balconies, great amenities, outdoor spaces, very clean, easy commute to school with a car, near some good restaurants and coffee shops, easy to go downtown, can watch a baseball game from the rooftop.

Worth every penny

Van Alen is a relatively new building downtown. We have loved having more space than you would get on 9th Street, and the building amenities are top-notch. The rooftop terrace is the perfect place for a summer bbq with friends, and the location is great with the baseball stadium and DPAC within a 5 min walk. We have had no issues with management, and they are great about repairs if and when they come up.
