Lots of electrical outlets that are intelligently placed on top of the tables, and the wifi was reliable. Kitchen was stocked with the usual coworking amenities. That is, water, coffee, basic tea, and some basic snacks. The day I was there, it was Kind bars and bananas. There are more snacks and drinks in a vending machine in the kitchen and for sale at the reception desk, including gigantic bars of chocolate(!) which are produced by one of the occupants. There's a frig to store things. Some minor issues to note: Tea service is very basic. I only saw one "telephone booth", though it doesn't seem too bad if you have a conversation out in the open area. The space was rather chilly and I had to put on my jacket and scarf. I recommend bringing layers. Lastly, the chairs in the general areas were not adjustable and didn't provide good lumbar support. An example of beauty over function here. I wish the interior designer/manager opted for more ergonomic chairs, as occupants are often there all day long. Overall, this space was great! Bathrooms: Clean and functional, and lovely.

I came to Portland on a Sunday to catch an evening show, then stayed the night in an Airbnb. I…read morechose openHAUS to work out of the next day for several reasons: - it was really close to my Airbnb - there was parking - they sold day passes and made buying one actually easy - it felt really safe when you're in there I was initially concerned when I first got there since the surrounding environment didn't look that welcoming, but once inside it was like a little work oasis. Having lived in several tech hub cities, the co-working spaces I'm used to tend to have a high-tech focus with minimal decor. openHAUS wasn't like that at all but I really appreciated the difference. There's a lot of interesting art dotted throughout and it's got a lived-in feel with many in-progress projects out in the open. There are desks claimed and occupied by the stuff of regulars, but besides that you get your choice of a place to settle for the day. There's clean bathrooms nearby and a kitchen stocked with coffee and tea, and even ramen if you really didn't want to step out for food. I heard there was a dedicated parking lot though it wasn't obvious, but street parking was easy enough. I'm glad I tried this place and would come back. I was able to take calls and attend work meetings just fine out of here, and I was able to pop out for lunch and come back without worrying about my stuff getting touched. Finally, I was also a little surprised that someone came with their dog, a big boxer looking one, but it was generally well behaved and didn't come around again after getting to sniff me in the butt.

A real estate investor moved into North Portland at exactly the right time. In one of their…read morebuildings, they curate the entire basement of a more than quarter block building as artist studios, to give back. Once a year they have an open house to wander the studios and meet the artists. So it is not the Yelp conventional business: they are open to the public once a year for a few hours. But if you have an interest in buying work from an artist, contact them for access. The most unusual concentration of art styles here are large scale oil paint portraits and landscapes. But there are music studios, theatrical studios, sculptors and the studios of XRay.fm. Many of the apartments above and in their Mississippi properties happen to be occupied by artists too. And the landlord, in their commercial buildings, hosted art school studios. Modern Medicis, yes. For you, an opportunity to see artists at work, once a year. Curious? Check their website.

Extra thanks to manager Tami for graciously tolerating and soothing me.

Probably five stars if you get the dedicated office spaces; for general members and day pass goers,…read moreI would give it 3.5 stars. Giving five stars overall, since most of the space is dedicated office spaces. Day passes: $35 for the day, $25 for half-day Very nice space, with the usual co-working amenities (free coffee, tea, water, wifi), numerous power outlets, and modern interior decor with some nice unique touches, like fresh flower bouquets on some tables, an abundance of natural light everywhere, and a coffee station on the first floor even though the kitchen is on the second floor. The general area is not as large as their Pearl District location. There's two kitchens, with refrigerators for use by everyone to store things. There's indoor bicycle storage(!) which is available to day pass users as well. If you get one of the dedicated office spaces on the second or third floor, the views are quite lovely. The only issues that makes this 3.5 stars for general members and day pass users involve the fishbowl effect of the space and the ergonomics of the chairs. Most of the open areas for general members/day pass users are very visible to the outside, with floor-to-ceiling windows. There's a somewhat more secluded space in the back with space for maybe eight people. This would make me nervous if I were doing work that was more private or if I was worried about leaving my stuff in the open to go to the bathroom, etc., the front door is unlocked and opens directly into the general member areas. Granted, the front desk person is there most of the time, but it's still a bit concerning for me. The second thing is for my back--the chairs in the general member/day pass areas are not ergonomic/adjustable office chairs, so it becomes difficult to work all day in them. In the very least, something adjustable height and even a lumbar pillow I can borrow from the front desk would be lovely. I was here briefly during their first week in operation, so there are some very minor glitches here and there, like not having those black little stirring things for tea/coffee, only half-and-half as the dairy option for your coffee/tea, and so on, but nothing that seems like an issue that will persist as they refine their space. Bathrooms: Clean, modern design, very functional, quite lovely, overall.

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.

We've been living at North Hollow for about two months now and absolutely love it!…read more From the moment we moved in, both Alaya (the building manager) and Erick (our lease consultant) have gone above and beyond to make us feel welcome and well cared for. They're always friendly, greet us with a smile, and make sure packages are safely delivered to the package room. These are all little things that truly make a difference in day-to-day living. Our one-bedroom apartment is cute and spacious, with a view that overlooks Lincoln High School and the West Hills. Watching kids play sports from our windows is really fun, and the views of the hills are amazing. One of my favorite things is how much natural light the apartment gets--my plants, which struggled in our previous place, are absolutely thriving here! The unit itself is thoughtfully designed and surprisingly quiet, with great soundproofing. While the bedroom doesn't have its own AC unit, the ceiling fan and powerful living room AC easily keep the entire space cool in the summer months. We especially appreciate the in-unit washer and dryer, as well as the overall quality of the appliances and finishes. We toured several other modern apartments in the area with similar features, but North Hollow offered the best value by far. While the neighborhood may not be perfect, we're used to urban living and haven't had any issues. Plus, NW 21st and 23rd (amazing restaurant/bar/shops area) are just a 10-minute walk away. The building itself has a great vibe. There's even a vending machine located near the elevators in the lobby for late-night cravings, and the rooftop regularly hosts fun events and gatherings. One of our favorite experiences so far was hanging out on the roof during a Post Malone concert at Providence Park--we met so many friendly neighbors, including one who offered us free food! Since then, we've continued to meet kind, welcoming residents who always say hello in the elevator. There's a real sense of community here that feels rare and genuine. The only downside we've experienced is the garage parking situation. Since there was only one space available when we moved in, my partner had to leave his car at his parents' house while we wait for a two-car spot to open. Hopefully one becomes available soon! Overall, I'd highly recommend North Hollow, especially to young professionals and anyone who wants to live in a modern, friendly building within walking distance to some of Portland's best neighborhoods.
