McCormick Pier: Love this place! (Recommending!)

2009-04-12T00:24:53-06:00

From EHCC: We loved living at McCormick Pier, just a lovely peaceful place to be. The grounds are very well-maintained, it has the best river views in Portland and Waterfront Park is right at your doorstep. Walk to the Saturday Market, waterfront festivals, or cross the pedestrian bridge into the Pearl. Energy ... [click to read full apartment review]

McCormick Pier: Horrible Place to Live (Not Recommending)

2008-08-19T08:44:34-06:00

From danmrunner@yahoo.com: McCormick Pier is a horrible place to live. The train noise is ridiculous, not to mention you can't get in and out of there without crossing the tracks, and you have to wait for a train 10-15 minutes for the train to go by. This happens more often than you ... [click to read full apartment review]

McCormick Pier: Disregard old reviews, low noise and sad to leave (Recommending!)

2008-02-07T17:05:43-06:00

From yup_pdx: I've lived at McCormick Pier for close to two years now and I am very sad to leave. From the other reviews it sounds like there was some noise when they were being remodeled, that's long over and well worth it. Amazing interiors and top notch. Variety with floor plans ...

McCormick Pier: I love it! (Recommending!)

2008-01-17T08:37:24-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've lived here for 3.5 years and think it's the best place to live in downtown Portland hands down. If you're into running, walking or cycling the waterfront is such an amazing thing to have right outside your doorstep. Even in the winter the views from this part of the ...

McCormick Pier: Lives up to its BAD reputation (Not Recommending)

2006-12-06T23:05:06-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Is the the management as bad as they say? Definitely. You're lucky to get them on the phone.

Is it noisy? Almost unbearable - imagine 8-12 trains per day sounding horns all night - freighters filling up on grain across the river - and inconsiderate neighbors.

Is it a bad neighborhood? ... [click to read full apartment review]

McCormick Pier: GREAT LOCATION, DESPITE PROBLEMS (Recommending!)

2006-07-06T19:35:44-06:00

From monkeybella: Now that construction is complete there is a lot less noise. Yes, there is a train next door, so if it bothers you, don't move here.

The trade off is an awesome view (you can't get a river view in the Pearl) and you are close to downtown.

Each unit is owned ... [click to read full apartment review]

McCormick Pier: This is a GREAT place to OWN - but the Management Company Must be Fired. (Recommending!)

2006-05-30T12:57:41-06:00

From jpob55t@aol.com: It seems renters aren't fairing so well- and I can see why - the management company is indeed incompetent, lazy, unresponsive, etc.

However, everything else about the renovated condos is gorgeous. Property values are appreciating rapdily, despite the "imminent housing bubble burst." Speaking as someone who *just* moved in last ... [click to read full apartment review]

McCormick Pier: Think twice before signing up! (Not Recommending)

2006-05-14T18:01:49-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Before you decide to live here, consider what is important to you. While the condo itself is nice (newly remodeled & new appliances), there are MANY downfalls. Parking is a mess. Neighbors are loud and inconsiderate; leaving trash, cigarette butts, and dog feces all over the grounds. Since the units ... [click to read full apartment review]

McCormick Pier: Do not live here... (Not Recommending)

2005-12-09T09:33:47-06:00

From pdxer: I lived here in 2000 until 2001 for one year.

While we had got a nice apartment, it had a cool deck/river view.
But the kitchen was very poor and outdated.

At the time the weight room was in poor condition and the spa was rarely opened. At least we could use the ... [click to read full apartment review]

McCormick Pier: Beautiful Spot on the River (Recommending!)

2005-09-09T16:29:43-06:00

From -Anonymous-: If you want to live on the river this IS the place to be. The construction is almost complete and was worth the wait. Under new management. The complex has great amenitiys such as outdoor fire pits and grills for all to use. Walking & running trails as well as ... [click to read full apartment review]

McCormick Pier: Amazing changes (Recommending!)

2005-03-23T17:53:29-06:00

From -Anonymous-: McCormick Pier has been purchased by a developer and the entire thing is now owned or will be owned by individual owners, some of whom rent them out as luxury condos. The new condos are GORGEOUS with big decks, huge windows, many with marble countertops and high-end appliances. I took ... [click to read full apartment review]

McCormick Pier: don't rent here!!!!! (Not Recommending)

2004-08-31T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: if you are just a renter here you are treated like 2nd class citizens. No landscaping, so much for river view. Try to get your window washed so you CAN see the river "sorry we're not doing that anymore" It takes a week to get maintence done. all the time ... [click to read full apartment review]

2003-10-20T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Don´t be fooled by the ladies in the office. Living on the water is great, but...
- the train across the river is really loud all the time (the office ladies said you never hear it), but it´s barely audible if all your windows and doors are closed,
- the pool was ... [click to read full apartment review]

2003-08-27T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Last year, when my husband and I moved here, McCormick was supposedly a nice place, with a weight room, heated pool, and a racqetball court. Now the place is being made into condos, and we left. Large numbers of tenants were forced to move. More tenants will have to move, ... [click to read full apartment review]

McCormick Pier: Downtown and river living (pretty cool) (Recommending!)

2003-05-30T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-:
Lived here a few years ago. Itﾒs $$$$ but you are right next to downtown, the river, the pearl district, a running path (waterfront running path 4.0 miles) and the apartment has a little style (lots of light). If youﾒre young or single itﾒs a great pad to use as ... [click to read full apartment review]

From -Anonymous-: For those who are considering buying a condo here or renting an apartment, this review is for you.
First of all, the guards are extremely nice and their English is not that bad, and certainly not as bad as was mentioned in the previous, grammatically incorrect reviews (talk about bad ... [click to read full apartment review]

2003-02-15T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The apartments are very dark and not very attractive. Lived here for a year and complained of a bad smell from the start, which would not go away no matter how much we cleaned and scrubbed- that complaint was repeatedly ignored by the office staff.
Walls are paper thin and you ... [click to read full apartment review]

2002-07-23T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I must agree with the review "HELL HOLE" I lived in these apartments for just over 4 months and moved out by breaking my lease.

2002-06-10T00:00:00-06:00

From carol@intelligencia.com: I´ve lived here over 2 year and loved every minute of it.

McCormick Pier: DO NOT MOVE IN (Not Recommending)

2002-05-23T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Noise is terrible. The building is so old and the insulation is so bad. The design of the building also have a problem.

McCormick Pier: so so (Not Recommending)

2002-03-01T00:00:00-06:00

From outbackwmn: While you can´t beat the place for it´s views, the willingness of the staff to fix major problems leaves something to be lacking. We had water dripping from our ceiling during a particularly rainy period (go figure, it´s Portland). It took us over 3 days just to get someone to ... [click to read full apartment review]
