Avenue5 Residential

Don't be fooled by the beautiful building. This management company, Avenue5, is the worst I've ever dealt with, by far. Staff are entirely unresponsive to maintenance requests and smoke right at the front door below tenants' open windows. The building is constantly too hot, too loud, or both. Good luck getting any sleep here. Cars have been stolen out of the garage and staff have called the police on tenants. This place is a nightmare.

Working from home here is terrible. It is SO loud. The walls and windows are thin. Construction noise isn't bad, it's mostly dogs barking. People seem to leave the dog doors open when they aren't home, and the dogs go absolutely nuts all day long. I can also hear the exact point my neighbor gets home each day. I can hear when they shut the door, when they close a cabinet or door, when they do laundry, etc. It essentially feels like we're sharing an apartment! I feel like roommates because I can hear everything! I'm paying more to live alone than I would've been paying with a roommate, but I feel like I took the short end of the stick. It's just as loud living alone here as it is having a terribly loud roommate. Also, the management has done nothing about this. I've talked to several neighbors who also have complained about how loud it is. Nothing is ever done.

I moved in recently and am very happy with my apartment. I have all the appliances I need and valet trash service! I love that there are elevators, which made moving in much easier. The property is extremely clean and quiet (inside and outside). It is also surrounded by nature, but still right across the street from several stores and food/drink stops. There is a very large gym and a nice pool that we look forward to using during the warmer months. The Staff has been so kind and helpful. Looking forward to staying at this property for some time!

I really like Storyline. I love living in the PSU area because it's walkable and I can easily take the bus to/from L&C. The apartment amenities are also great.

Couldn’t ask for much more

Aura Thirty2 is one of the nicest spots close to the law school, but be ready to pay for it!

The space is very nice and clean, and the location is great for law students. I live only 10 minutes away from the law school, so walking to school is very convenient. However, the apartment is very expensive for its location, and it would be unaffordable if I didn't have savings from work. I do like that most of my friends live in the area, so living in Aura is good for my social life.

The Boathouse is a pretty large complex right on the Willamette. Some apartments have amazing views of the river and Mount Hood (on a clear day). The biggest pros are (1) the views; (2) access to the river (there are a couple of kayaks that residents can use for free); (3) super friendly and helpful management; and spacious and beautiful apartments; (4) proximity to Lewis & Clark. The only real con is that it's a very quiet area without much in walking distance, though we have some go-to restaurants and bars that we can walk to.

Coda on H is perfectly located near the red line at Union Station! It is a new building with a limited number of residents. The office staff is very small but attentive and friendly. H street is a great location to live in but a bit noisy at times. It is far from AU campus but a straight shot on the red line.

Love this place! The amenities are incredible. The only issues are (1) that the one-bedroom apartment is smaller, especially the closet, compared to other options in the market. However, the location makes up for it. (2) The leasing office took almost 3 weeks to reply.

I love living here so far. I know it’s a little expensive for a studio apartment but worth it. I love the area, I never have an issue finding street parking, maintenance is super responsive and helpful, the apartment units themselves and the building as a whole is really nice, and it’s only 15 minutes from campus.

The area is really nice, the amenities are all clean and well kept, and maintenance is extremely responsive. Can be loud with neighbors though, thin walls. Dogs barking down the hall are very audible unfortunately. Also I live near the door to the parking garage and hear it slam all the time.

Super convenient location!

I really like this place. We have a 3 bed townhome. There are apartments to rent as well. It's really spacious and our favorite place we've lived. It's about 22 minutes from the law school--14 minutes if you're willing to pay the tolls. It's a nice area and safe too. Since it's farther away, it's cheaper than places in downtown. The pool and gym are really nice too. I like the valet trash service as well.

I really love the family-friendly environment at Presidio. The amenities are fabulous and the pool is AMAZING! Also, they are quick to respond to work orders and they pick up trash Sunday-Thursday right outside your door.
