Resident 2022 - 2023

Property Management Company is AWFUL

Trion Living manages this property and they are terrible. When I first moved in, we had a great on-site property manager, RJ. After he left it was all downhill. They left the building without a property manager for months. They only give tenants one key… See More >

            I recently moved here site unseen from another state. I love the location, interior finishes/appliances and the rooftop area with a view of downtown Portland. There is some noise penetration from the exterior, but otherwise a quiet area and the neighbors are friendly and respectful.… See More >

                When we moved in, smaller unit was sold to us that the one we paid for. I discovered it myself while calculating the room sizes for furniture. It was a big mistake resulting in several hundred dollars a month price difference. When the team accepted… See More >

                  If I could give zero stars for "overall" and "noise" I would have. I can't wait to move out of this place! This building has NO sound proofing or insulation on windows/doors/walls/ceiling etc, and most of the appliances are cheap crappy and very noisy, especially… See More >
