Members at Common enjoy the privacy of their own furnished bedrooms with access to community in beautiful shared suites and community spaces in their homes. From spontaneous get-togethers with your suitemates to curated events, Common makes it easy to build friendships and discover the best the city has to offer. Best yet, one all-inclusive rate covers your rent, weekly cleaning, laundry, property services and more.

Value: Common members save over $500 every month over a traditional studio apartment. Easy move-in day: Move-ins can take as few as 30 minutes thanks to keyless access and clear, thoughtful instructions from our Member Services team. An open invitation: As a member, you have access to the entire Common community, whether you’re on the east coast, west coast, or anywhere in between. Stay connected: Find out what’s happening in your home, or check in with members across the country. We use Slack to empower members to engage and coordinate plans with each other. Built for community: Every Common home has community spaces, perfect for a potluck meal, movie night, or book club with your neighbors.

Common - City living made better

Living in Oakland means you're right across the bay from San Francisco and can access the 19 miles of stunning shoreline. With its central location, find yourself a quick car ride away from picnic- perfect Lake Merritt, Berkeley's gorgeous campus, wine tasting in Napa Valley, and hundreds of hiking trails.

Common MacArthur is just four stops away from Downtown San Francisco on the BART. The Alameda/Oakland Ferry is also great if you’re looking to head on over to San Francisco, Alameda, or Angel Island. Many area residents prefer to bike throughout the city, and Oakland is a major bike-friendly location.
