My husband and I have lived in this community since 2008. We love the location, the amenities and the price. Mostly we love that they helped us out when my husband lost his job in 2009. We had only been here a year and he knew he was going to be let go. We went to the leasing office to see if they had a less expensive apartment or could cut us a break until he got another job. We still had 6 months left on our lease at this point and couldn't afford to break it. Fortunately they did have a much cheaper apartment in the C building which was the same size as the one we had been renting in the B building. All we had to do was transfer the lease and move. They didn't charge a transfer fee or require an additional deposit. (And this was with the former management.) We've been there ever since. As long as rent only goes up by $25-50 a month were staying cause I hate packing!
The community has been under a new management company for about a year. We have not had any problems with the new management company. The new management updated all the equipment in the gym and updated the floors. All the staff changed but the new staff are good. We've never had a problem with our neighbors. Maintenance issues are taken care of in a reasonable time period. (Unless its an emergency then they're there ASAP. )
I personally like that there is a little park on Portland where our neighbors take their dogs. I don't have a dog but it's nice to live in a pet friendly community. There are also tons of trash cans and doggie bag dispensers so no one has an excuse not to clean up after their dog. If I didn't actually see the dogs every day, I would have no idea that anyone owned a dog downtown.
We recommend this place to everyone.
