Portland Astoria is by far the best place I have lived in Portland out of my 5 years here. I’ve been here for 6 months now and I feel so thankful to call this place my home. The location is amazing right on the waterfront, and compared to other areas I’ve lived in, it is a well kept area that I feel comfortable walking around as a single girl. It’s a very walkable area with so much food, bars, events, shopping, ect. nearby. You truly get the “city life” experience living here with where you’re at, the ambiance of the place, and the amazing views you get of Portland. I’ve had very positive experiences here so far between my move in, anytime I’ve needed maintenance assistance, and just my overall happiness living here. The apartments are modern & beautiful and the amenities are incredible (amazing rooftop, gym, yoga room, coffee room / work space, huge courtyard, and there’s constant community events for residents). It’s not the cheapest place you can rent from in Portland, but you are definitely paying for what you get. My experience here is everything I hoped for + more when I wanted to upgrade in my next move. Management here is so wonderful. Jenna helped me at my move-in and she is the kindest and coolest apartment manager I’ve ever had. Never felt like I was trying to be tricked, scammed, or rushed into things and when I was doing my move she helped me get an amazing discount and also gave me really helpful advice on routes to go to pay less move-in costs, whereas other places I’ve lived would have harped on the opportunity to take the extra money. Maelynn, the other leasing manager, is awesome too. They both are always so responsive and helpful- anytime I’ve needed help with something they are always on it right away and I always feel like they prioritize my best interest / experience as a resident. They seem to really care about the community here which I’m super appreciative of. The people I’ve met around here are wonderful too! Overall, I love living here and I would absolutely recommend it to people as a consideration when looking for their next home in the city ❤️

love this building and the whole team! Great amenities too, love that there is a coffee machine for residents! My only suggestion is to add mulch around the trees in front of the building to help with the animal smells!

Worst place I've ever lived yet the most expensive. Dog park almost always was gross and there’s no way pissed on astroturf that at MOST was cleaned once a day is safe for dogs. The stairwell furthest east had the same piece of dog poop for over 5 months without being cleaned in 2024 under avenue5. I lived there for two years and while greystar was also terrible they never illegally entered my unit unlike avenue5. Avenue5 claims they “mixed up” keys when they took over and tried to show my unit to someone while i was at home then attempted to blame me for them opening my door. They should not have opened my door point blank period. This happened to other residents too, not just me. The assistant leasing office manager chris is kind and helpful, and when sheri worked in the leasing office she was kind and helpful as well. The walls in this building are very thin i could always hear my next door neighbors baby crying. Additionally the other residents in the building are very snarky. A lady on my floor tried to tell me i didnt live on my floor insinuating that i lived on a much lower floor completely unprompted after i said hello to her in the elevator. Many encounters with neighbors like that. I’ve lived a few places but never had issues with neighbors like that, nor with a building being filthy all the time. The units are pretty and the view is too, though the units are poorly constructed. I wasn't aware i needed glasses when i toured my unit and did not notice until move in that there were holes in the grout in my bathroom, as well as a gap in the wall between my bedroom and living room. Certainly not a luxurious experience like the company claims. Even after all the issues they tries to up my rent every year, even so they had to rent my old unit out at about $200 lower than what they would have raised me to because it’s obvious a 1 bed in this kind of building is not worth $2300. They tried to tell me “market value” of mine was $2900 which is hilarious to me. Realpage pricing is a scam. Maybe if i couldnt hear everything my neighbors did and had a hole free apartment without the permanent stench of dog piss it would be worth $2300 at BEST. Neighbors regularly have dogs off leash in the building too, as well as not picking up if their dog shits or pisses in a hallway or elevator.

* PLEASE SEE ALL VIDEOS & PICTURES* Absolute worst place to live, EVER. If I could leave 0 stars I would. Absolute worst management we’ve ever had to deal with. Rude and absolutely do not care about their tenants. Garage is always broken allowing people to smash windows, front door is broken as well allowing people to just walk in, elevators are unlocked at all hours of the night allowing people to roam the halls freely breaking into apartments and private rooms in the building stealing peoples property. Not to mention they are not vetting all tenants because their occupancy is so low they have tenants living on this property that have started fires in the stairwells & a shooting that occurred. I have never in my life worked with such unprofessional humans and company; referring to Avenue5, Mírela who is the manager on premises, Melissa who is the regional manager. They will add hundreds of dollars to your bill when moving out even when you’ve cleaned and left it in the condition they rented it out to you in. They do not care about your safety (there were multiple BREAK INS while living in the building & they do not feel obligated to even tell you when there is one) We even had the chance to talk to upper management, Melissa, and at first it seemed as if she was concerned and wanted to help and even then we never heard back from her when she specifically said she would. It’s a complete disgrace as to how your company is treating people. This place is very misleading and it’s unfortunate because they promote themselves as a luxury apartment, but nothing about them is luxury. The actual apartments are nice but the standards they hold management and the safety of their building/tenants are the lowest they possibly could be. I’m warning all future residents that this is not a place you want to live & to stay away.

Portland Astoria is one of my first high-rise apartment living experiences, and I have been lucky enough to experience so much already! From the gorgeous finishes, thoughtful, bright and modern designs, and absolutely stellar views whether admiring Downtown Portland from your window or viewing the skyline and waterfront from the many resident amenities such as the 20th floor sky lounge or the 6th floor resident courtyard, this place is an absolute dream to visit, let alone live at. I have no doubt that my 14 months here will be the best experience I will have treated myself to thus far. Not only have the amenities been a blast to peruse, but the management staff has really done their best to personalize the experience and add in little key pieces to make my start here mean something to me. While I haven't met or corresponded with the manager yet, I have had consistent and positive communication with Paulina and Karla, their two outstanding Leasing Professionals! I'm sure they more than deserve a pay raise for their above and beyond efforts at such a large community, and it was great hearing positive feedback unprovoked about one another in passing during my in person interactions. They have a strong respect for one another both in work ethic and skillsets which is important to highlight in a team environment to uplift and recognize one another! Paulina toured me initially and has helped throughout my time communicating about my move in, in addition to my consistently positive experiences with Karla assisting as well, who has helped take care of several things along the way leading up to my move in. They have worked together seamlessly to continue my positive experience all around! Little things really do matter to cultivate a positive resident experience all the way from first tour to new tenancy. Things such as the complimentary bag of coffee roast, the quick and positive-toned responses via email back from the management team, and last but not least (my personal favorite touch) was the wholesome and sweetly handwritten thank you card welcoming me to the community and congratulating me on this milestone move. Because of small efforts for experiences like these, even this early on in tenancy, I don't feel like just another tenant bringing in money to their community! As an Executive Assistant to the Vice President at a nearby apartment management firm myself, I absolutely love seeing this kind of effort from the management team of where I've chosen to call home. I can't wait to see how the next few months go as I settle in further! :) Thank you Karla, Paulina and the rest of the Portland Astoria team!
