I had a friend who lived here back in 2021 and fell in love with this place. Once I moved to…read morePortland, I knew I had to live here too. Yeah I did still look around for other options but this still beat all of them without a doubt. The rooms are absolutely amazing! My favorite features are the hardwood floors, high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and the excellent security, especially the package room. Even though I lived in a studio, the space feels much larger because of the big windows. The natural light that floods the room is incredible, and I love it! That said, there are a few things I wish were different. For instance, I wish the 1+ bedroom units also had hardwood floors, the showers were walk-in instead of tubs, and the washer/dryers were updated (they look a bit outdated but still work great). Despite these minor dislikes, everything else more than makes up for it. The leasing office team, Rhea and Kennedy, along with the concierge, Robert, are incredible and always a joy to talk to. They go above and beyond to help with anything you need. Another huge plus is the location! The building is situated right next to the MAX train, with one side taking you to the Portland Airport and the other side to the Hillsboro Airport. If there is an availability, I would consider this place for anyone!

Prospective renters, find somewhere else to move. I made an appointment for 1:30 (see posted in…read morecase they decide to lie), and I arrived at 1:20. I am then told by concierge that she was a temp and they went out to lunch until 2. I advised I had an appointment and she said she could not do anything. Fine, I waited. At 1:55 three members arrived back and I informed the manager I had an appointment to which the manager (Kristen) stated that must've been AI generated and someone would be with me shortly. Daja arrives and says hi Terrence, sorry for the wait. So the fact that she knew my name without me saying it lets me know you did know you had an appointment to see a unit and chose to blow it off. I go on the tour and she had a flat affect, not rude, but certainly not pleasant. I toured the unit only because I waited and paid for parking. It is irritating to deal with unprofessional behavior. If the manager who apparently does not understand how to run the leasing department, she should not be there. And for $3k for an apartment, perhaps be pleasant to a future resident.

I don't even know where to begin, so I will start with this: I love being a resident at NH so much,…read moreit's prompted me to leave my first ever, Yelp Review. My fiancé moved into North Hollow, officially, December 23th 2021. We had been at our previous residence for nearly 4 years and now with us both working from home, decided we wanted a change. North Hollow was the first complex we viewed, (out of so, so, many in the NW/SW, Pearl, Slabtown, GH areas). We fell in love with practical, non practical living spaces for our family- but our experiences paled in comparison to those we had during our walk through with Jayne, NH Assistant Property Manger. After about 2 weeks of deliberation, we decided NH was a perfect place for our new home. Communication: I cannot emphasize how incredibly pleased we were with the amount of care and prompt communication that was displayed by Anna (Property Manager) and Jayne. This was a large contributing factor as to why we chose NH. The application process to lease signing was entirely seamless. (And completely remote). Area: Goosehollow is perfect. 10 minute walk to Pioneer Square, or NW 23rd! It's so centrally located and walkable to our favorite places in Portland (NW 21st, NW 23rd, Goosehollow Washington Park, Wallace Park, Cycle Dog, etc... ). We're huge Timbers and Thorns supporters (season ticket holders), so only being a three minute walk from the stadium is equally amazing. Complex: Like. It's so pretty. It's so clean, so shiny, and the natural light we get coming into our apartment is something to write home about. Gorgeous Subway Tile Backsplash in the kitchen, incredible hardwood flooring through the entire apartment , beautiful bamboo barn door in the bedroom. New fixtures, stainless steel appliances, huge closet space, I mean the list goes on. You also CANNOT beat the community room, the community room espresso machine, the gym, and the rooftop. The amenities are superb. They also are incredibly focused on keeping everyone safe- so social distancing (in the elevators and such) and masks in the common areas being required- makes me feel like they're doing their due diligence to keep their community safe. Overall: We're so happy with our choice to move to NH. We've been incredibly pleased with how friendly everyone (including the staff) have been to not only us, but also our sweet little Bulldog, Ruth. If we could give higher than 5 stars we would in a heartbeat!

I've resided at North Hollow from before the building was completely finished:…read more I cannot in good conscience recommend it. Leasing agent responded to my rental application NOT via email nor phone...but via hookup app! Julian told me the unit for which I'd applied was posted as available by mistake...but that he was "pulling for" me because he "wouldn't mind seeing your face on the regular!" Implying I should have sex with him in order to get the apartment. When I declined, he told me he wanted the unit for himself and delayed my application by two months even through the housing authority had approved it, resulting in six weeks of homelessness! When I finally moved in, the first weekend a tenant hosted a raging party wherein attendees propped the secured front door open with a traffic cone. They smoked cannabis, spilled alcoholic beverages in the lobby and elevators, and threatened me on camera with a glass bottle. Management unapologetically shrugged. The rooftop amenity has remained unlocked for more than seven years against policy despite scores of exhortations in person and in writing. Lightbulbs have been shattered by drunken revelers and furniture has thrice been destroyed. I've multiple times been threatened by tenants who refused to vacate after hours, even being chased up and down the stairwell by a drunken neighbor. Worst of all, I was forced to surrender my psychiatrist-prescribed emotional support animal because she would defecate and urinate nightly, utterly terrified at the sound of dancing and furniture dragging above us at all hours. Her name was Adèle. Fob reader malfunctions. Ground floor mailroom and fitness room windows allow trespasser access if left unattended despite requests to ameliorate. Loading dock windows and fitness room windows smashed on average once per year or so. Car windows twice smashed while parked outside; multiple garage and bike rooms break-ins: lost TWO bicycles! Ana threatened me and overcharged rent for 8 months. Management and maintenance turnover is high: average less than one year. This means an uncaring employee will not last long...however, a caring employee will also not last long. In seven years only two managers have been honest: Stephanie Gonzalez and the current manager, Alayah--she takes security seriously and even accosted me once while entering the garage to verify that I was a resident! I was not offended and even appreciated her precaution: intruders have literally infiltrated the building, prying open interior doors with a crowbar, necessitating astragals on the door jambs. I have personally encountered trespassers sleeping in the stairwell and found foil and toilet paper-- once a trespasser in the generator room pulled a knife on me.

The building is well constructed, very quiet and very well maintained. The maintenance staff is friendly and very responsive and the leasing office staff is so accommodating.

I lived at 2121 Belmont for close to six years…read more As of 2021, in terms of build quality and customer service, it's difficult to think of a better building in inner SE! - Originally built as condos, so great quality build, including hardwood floors, granite countertops, thick walls, etc. Weirdly, I could hear when my neighbors opened and closed their sunshades, but I could never hear dogs barking, loud music, etc. - Some ground-level apartments with private entrances available if you have a dog or bike that requires easy access to the street. - Parking spots available, package lockers, small gym, and a dog wash. In six years, I maybe lost two packages, which is remarkable! - Along the 15 bus route, so easy commute Downtown for work, with easy transfers to NE along MLK Blvd. If you bike: very easy to access anything in SE, Downtown, the Pearl, or inner NE. Wonderful location to pick up cycling for transportation! - Within easy biking distance of tons of coffee shops--very ideal outside of COVID times! - Across from Colonel Summers Park, next door to a cemetery (quiet neighbors!) that's nice for walks. - Generally pretty friendly neighbors. I lived in the building for close to six years, but one of my next-door neighbors had lived there even longer! - In six years, my rent went up about $75. There are a few caveats, however: - Most of the units do not have "true" bedrooms; if you look at the layout diagrams, the bedroom is in the middle of the apartment with no windows. I didn't realize how much that affected me until I moved out. The darkness really does get to you, even if you purchase a smart lamp. - Relatedly, the building is North/South facing, so in most of the units, you don't get great light--especially during winter. - There are lots of things "nearby", but very few things right outside your door: a couple restaurants, one bar, a dispensary, an LGBTQ clinic. I wouldn't call the area walkable so much as bikeable. If you have a car, it's no trouble at all, though. - The quality of the building really relies on the quality of the staff. For the first year I lived at 2121 Belmont, it was amazing! The past few years have been great, as well. There were a few years in-between, though, that were sketchy at best: no cleaning the trash rooms, no cleaning pet waste in front of the building. Once had a maintenance guy walk into my apartment without notice while I was in the shower--that guy no longer works there. Otherwise, a great building. Would have stayed much longer if it weren't for COVID--I moved to a more walkable neighborhood, since public transit is best avoided.

Waking up to these incredible views while having easy access to all of Portland via highway 84 or the Max stop at our doorstep gives you a sense that you're at the center of it all. The location is the perfect mix of urban living while benefiting from the less chaotic pace of a suburban neighborhood. Among my favorite characteristics is the diversity of the neighbors which have all been incredibly warm. This may be that a large percentage of them are dog owners and are naturally outgoing and conscientious. It makes for a great vibe while out on the terrace or spending time in the spa. The staff at Aster tower deserve a resounding accolade. I've experienced nothing short of professionalism from all of them, and they are a welcome sight at the front desk. I've been a huge fan of my apartment layout and the smart design that dots the space. With the recent heat wave Portland was experiencing temperatures of up to 116 degrees. My saving grace is that all our units have air conditioning. This is a rarity in Portland even in new developments. It will certainly come to be an important feature in the coming years. As I post this review I'm rather amiss about Megan's review below. Perhaps this is their first foray into adulthood and they have never come across a lease agreement before but Hassalo is very upfront about the $165 a month parking space. A charge that is comparable to the vast majority of buildings I came across in my search -- if not cheaper. Did they not tour the handicap accessible apartment before signing? Rather bizarre that you accepted a living space only to complain about it in a public forum as if it was forced upon you. Aster Tower is definitely worth your consideration and if you're on the fence I would recommend you take the plunge.

Astor Tower: The worst experience I've had in PDX…read more You will hear every move your neighbors make. You will hear them moving, playing music, laughing, and banging about. I've had to report multiple neighbors playing metal so loud I could hear it from the elevator, hallways, and inside my apartment. Each time (must have been a dozen), someone would come up, knock on the door, passively ask to "please turn down the music somewhat" and go about their business with zero repercussions on the resident. Zero consequences only encourages this inconsiderate behavior. After comparing notes with other residents, this seems to be a way of life at Astor Tower. The halls and elevators constantly smell of weed. Disgusting. Leasing is incredibly passive aggressive. Even more than PDX standards. It's clear they're there to cash their checks and give residents lip service instead of resolving conflicts. Rent is OBSCENE for the area. There's nothing there. Businesses left since COVID. People park their low rent cars way too close to luxury ones. Note - they don't care if you're driving a Mercedes. They still park too close. Gross. Random people are always in the lounge, taking over with loud birthday parties and game nights. Go to your own apartments! Or better yet - go out to someone else's house. Don't interfere with those who have to live in close quarters and can HEAR EVERYTHING. Stay away from Astor Tower / Hassolo buildings. Hassalo - if you attempt to pull down my honest review again (I know it was you guys), I will report you. Stop the nonsense. Fix your problems. Your goal should be more five star reviews, not hiding your inability to manage property.

More cons than pros…read more Cons: 1. I cleaned thoroughly before moving out, but still got charged a couple hundred in cleaning fees. Be transparent and tell people you are going to get cleaners even if the tenants clean before moving out. 2. Frequent theft in the apartment complex, recommended getting cameras but never happened. Could be because the corporate didn't allocate funds. No effective action was taken. 3. Management didn't enforce any smoking, hallways and elevator consistently smelled like smoke Pros: - Good price for the location - Rooftop was nice

This is our first apartment experience in Portland in the 21 years that we have lived here. We…read morelooked at a few areas, and toured properties, but there is something special about this building. The leasing agent and manager Candace Loft, is gracious and welcoming, Maintenance is quick and competent. The building is kept in good shape, considering its age, the move in and move outs and human behavior. The common areas are well kept, cleaned regularly, and the garbage and recycling bins are regularly emptied (Mon and Fri). The units and the building are improved regularly, currently new fire safety equipment is being installed. Our unit has scraped plank style vinyl floors that are very handsome. Amenities include a nicely appointed lobby, mail area, a bright, clean laundry room, a small but well equipped gym, and a rooftop lounging area. Our 1 Bedroom is 650 sq ft, with a large balcony overlooked by expansive windows in the living/ dining area. The balcony is large enough for furniture and plants. The city views are spectacular on the East side of the building. There is a bit of Pickle Ball noise from the MAC, but it is negligible. The kitchens are small, but efficient, the bedroom is large enough for a king-size bed flanked by two three drawer chests. The MAC does have great security that keeps the already quiet neighborhood safe from street unrest. They also have a whole block of undeveloped land that they graciously allow to be used as a dog walking area for the time being. Because of the steep streets on this hillside there are no campers. The West side is leafier and quieter with a view of a park-like surface parking lot for the private City Club through large mature trees. We really enjoy living here, although we are probably the oldest tenants in age, the neighbors are generally quiet and polite. As there are only 8 units per floor we rarely run into our neighbors , even on the elevator.

While I ended up renting a space at the Raleigh location in 2017, Betsy was always available to help me, as the managers for the last 9 years at Raleigh have been GOD AWFUL.

I am THRILLED to have such a consistent, hardworking, dedicated, personable, kind, amazing manager who goes ABOVE AND BEYOND. For the first time since 2017, the Raleigh building is actually functioning the way it should! Many managers have come and gone and have been absolute shite. But Betsy? A bonafide ROCKSTAR!!! This woman deserves a raise, promotion, AND bonus for how she's gotten this property back into shape. For the first time in almost 10 years as a tenant, I feel taken care of and safe here. She is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING and the reason I'm choosing to continue renting here. This woman is GOLD and needs to be protected at all costs!! If you're looking for a space for your art, hobby, or business, Betsy is your girl!! Thank you SO much for all you do, Betsy, we love & appreciate you!!!

Despite always paying rent and maintaining a safe, organized space, management blindsided me with a non-renewal notice right before the holiday season -- the busiest time of year for my work. Their decision, paired with a complete lack of empathy or communication, forced me to dismantle my entire workspace and move equipment during peak production. I'm not just disappointed; I'm disheartened by how management treats tenants who are actually creating something. Instead of supporting a small independent maker, they chose to add unnecessary stress and costs during a critical period. The "creative community" they advertise is a façade -- it's a corporate environment run by people who have no real understanding of artists or small-scale manufacturing. If you're an artist, designer, or small business owner considering ActiveSpace, I strongly advise you to look elsewhere. The people managing this property have no idea how to foster a supportive environment. They treat creators like liabilities, not the reason their buildings stay alive. I've never experienced such disregard for human decency or timing. Evicting or forcing out a small business in November -- during the holidays -- says everything about their priorities.
