My son and I have rented a two bedroom apartment here for three-and-a-half years. In the past I…read morehave often had problems getting repairs done, especially when renting directly from an owner. One of the reasons I chose to live here was because the complex has a professional management company and an on-site Manager. We have not been disappointed; Bluestsone and Hockley has a crew of repairmen who are very professional and always do excellent work. The complex has a very nice layout; the apartments fronting on Glisan surround a walkway planted with bushes and trees. This provides a much more pleasant setting than the many apartment complexes built around concrete parking lots. It is also surprisingly quiet indoors; we never hear our neighbors or street noise when the windows are closed. Our Manager, Marianne, is awesome. She is always working had to make the property safer, cleaner and more beautiful. She does everything from picking up trash and salting the parking lots and walkways before a snowstorm, to planting and tending gardens on the property. She is also very friendly, and does nice things like giving out cards and treats for holidays. The location is ideal, especially for someone who doesn't own a car, or prefers to bike or use transit. We are next to Fred Meyer. The 19 Bus on Glisan can get you downtown or to Gateway Transit Center in about twenty minutes, and we are six blocks from the 60th Ave Max Station.

I've lived at Scott Mountain by the Brook for over 10years, and in the past year new management has stepped in and in the last year, I've experienced nonstop noise during quiet hours, violence, and criminal behavior from the apartment below mine. I've submitted dozens of complaints and Ring recordings to management -- including video of domestic violence, drug use, prostitution, guns being pulled on people, my life being threatened on more than one occasion and open alcohol in vehicles. I've even submitted recordings of people pulling guns, threatening my life, and people committing violent acts -- and management has done absolutely nothing. Most of the time they don't respond, or they make excuses, saying "Portland is a tenant-friendly city" -- as if that justifies ignoring my rights as a tenant. The leasing office claims they enforce quiet hours, don't tolerate drugs or crime, and care about community safety -- but that's completely false. I've sent them undeniable proof of ongoing criminal activity, sometimes multiple times a week, for over a year, and the tenants responsible are still here. Oregon law (ORS § 90.322) gives tenants the right to quiet enjoyment, and Scott Mountain has completely failed to uphold this. If you're looking for a safe, quiet, and professionally managed community, this is not the place. What I've experienced here is nothing short of neglect by management, and I now have no choice but to consider legal action. Do your homework before signing a lease here. A pretty landscape can't make up for feeling unsafe in your own home every day and night.

Where does one begin when the list is painfully long. It started off good, the first few months…read more This review would be negative stars if that were possible. The stress, and inconvenience of living here is too much. I thought with each new property manager things would improve. Nope. Moving is expensive, and I remained hopeful. I'm leaving as soon as my current lease is up, since there is no negotiating otherwise. In the almost 3 years of living at this property, we have had no less than 6 different maintenance staff, and almost as many office staff & property mangers. Requests for maintenance take 2-8 weeks even if it's something urgent like (hardwired) smoke detectors beeping constantly at all hours. I've had electrical issues repeatedly & they don't seem to mind that only one of the outlets in my entire kitchen work properly. They just say sorry we are short staffed. Right, for 3 years. Whenever they do get around to fixing anything it's shoddy, and usually a repeat thing because it wasn't done correctly. The last time maintenance was here, he couldn't manage a bath fan replacement without 3 trips to get stuff - never mind this was the 4th time we'd requested it be fixed. The property got an exterior facelift, great. How about fixing the issues like the windows that mold inside EVERY year. Keep them open just a crack for circulation and your heat bill will be OUTRAGEOUS. The way they bill for water sewer is completely insane & it creeps up monthly. There is constant dog waste & garbage everywhere & no porter on the property. They do raise the rent every year, but there have been no real improvements at all. This is the only Oregon property they have, and it SHOWS. The cost to value is criminal. A young man was shot and died right outside my building, there are car break ins frequently. The patrol is completely useless. The reviews on their website are filtered and chosen, don't be fooled. Do your research. One of the managers they had called and emailed me so many times it was harassment asking me to leave a review, well, here it is. You got what you wanted. I was going to wait until I moved out to do a review, but I'm stuck here it's awful and I'm being ignored, even after hand delivering a letter directly to the manager. It was a bad decision to live here. I've worked in property management & can understand the challenges. I gave so much time and a lot of grace. I'm done being ignored.

I've reached the year mark in calling Aster Tower my home and could not be happier with the…read moredecision. 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.

Concierge, maintenance, and cleaning crew are 5 stars. Unfortunately the building is a cheaply…read morebuilt "luxury" high rise owned by a greedy company in a dead part of town. Rent WILL go up a fraction of a percent under the max allowed by law every year. Expensive amenities and rooftop are closed at hilariously restrictive hours, and usually during holidays when you might want to use them (closed rooftop during 4th of July viewing hours). I always paid rent on-time and was still completely banned from the online payment system for simple mistakes. NOT PET FRIENDLY. Dog relief area on the 2nd floor reeks of urine and attracts dangerous and irresponsible dogs and owners. I paid a "pet rent" every single month (over $2000 cumulatively), then was charged an obscene amount on move-out for pet-related wear and tear on floors they obviously planned to replace anyway. Conveniently the "pet rent" didn't seem to factor in here. They don't take a security deposit on move in so they can instead charge you as much as they want on move-out. Just don't give this massive greedy company your money. There are less predatory options out there in lively parts of the city for a fraction of the price.

I have lived at Parkview for almost 4 years and in two different units. I first moved into a…read moreone-bedroom, which is still my favorite apartment I've ever lived in. Later, I transferred into a two-bedroom. There are a couple of things to know before moving here. These are vintage apartments, which means that if you don't monitor the moisture in your own apartment, you could potentially have an issue with mold. I have never had any mold issues in either of my units. Another thing to note is that there is no dishwasher, and laundry is shared with three other units. I have never had to wait to do laundry, and I don't mind washing dishes. The property manager, Shelley, is very responsive and takes care of things right away. Ricky is the maintenance man, and he is one of the friendliest people I know. He will get to know you, take care of any requests promptly, and always have a friendly conversation with you when he sees you around the property.

I recently moved from these apartments, and I'm sad that I had to go. I would have totally given…read morethese apartments 5 stars except that there were some minor quirks about the building that some people will hate and not be able to live with. So lets start with Pros: 1) Beautiful, vintage, hardwood floors, tons of storage, lots of windows! (enough adjectives?) When you walk in, you get this feeling of spaciousness. The windows are large and let in tons of light (my apt before this one, did not, so I super appreciated it), the hardwood floors are beautiful (though a bit well used). 2) Beautiful courtyard and maintained landscaping. You feel like you are in a garden. 3) Quite neighborhood. Mostly young professionals, I lived there for 5 years and I don't think I once saw a kid (nothing against kids, but it did make the courtyard nice and quite). And the building that I was in, was super friendly. I knew my neighbors, they knew me, and quite often we did a "food exchange" where we would leave pastries, etc at each other's doors. 4) The management is great. When I first moved in, Luna worked there and she was so friendly and always there to help. Then when she moved on, Paul took over (I think he's still there) and he was nice too. The maintenance is great. They show up within a day or two of sending in a request. (in fact, I once flooded the kitchen from a broken pipe on Thanksgiving, and they showed up and weren't bitchy about it at all. Felt bad, but they were sweet about it) 5) I swear you will never run out of hot water...I take like 30 minute boiling hot showers...never ran out of hot water once. Booyah! 6) Also, for the most part, soundproofing is pretty good. That's not to say that if your neighbor has a party with loud music you won't hear it, but for everyday life, it's pretty quite. 7) Secured entryway which was nice. The Cons: 1) The heating is steam heat from radiators. So when they turn on, you will hears some loud ass clanging. My mum was staying over once and she thought someone was trying to break in. So be prepared to be hear some clanging at like 5 in the morning (no joke). Also with the heat it's controlled by one (that's right, just one) thermometer for the entire complex. So at times your heat wouldn't turn on because that building hadn't been chilled enough, but yours had (le sigh). And finally about the radiator heat, and then I'll be done (hopefully), when I first moved in, the radiator in the living room & dining room didn't work, but the ones in the rooms did. So the rooms would be saunas and the rest of the house was freezing. Then we finally got smart and requested the radiators be fixed. Which was great because now our entire house had heat, but also radiators don't really have a dial, they are kind of either on or off. So we had the choice of having a sauna-like apartment or a freezing apartment. So we chose the latter and just opened all the windows in our house (in the middle of winter), so that it wouldn't get too warm. So be prepared. 2) Pipes are old in this building, so if you have long hair, be prepared to call maintenance every few months to help you with that issue. But it's not just long hair, you don't have a garbage disposal in the kitchen, so make sure to have a catchall for when you're washing dishes, or else you'll be in trouble (hence the flooding of the kitchen on Thanksgiving, you can't use drain-o on old pipes). And this only happened a few times and I think they fixed it, but on occasion the pipes break and then you'll have muddy water. As I said, only happened a few times in the 5 years I lived there, so I don't think it's a consistent problem, but ye be warned. 3)This might not be an issue for every unit, but our oven would not keep temperature, and as an avid baker, it drove me insane. The neighbors below us said that they did not have that problem. 4)If your apartment is on 18th, parking will not be an issue, at all...ever. There is a parking lot across the way that has a sign saying "don't park here" but don't worry, they have never towed. That being said, if you live on 18th, there is a motorcycle shop that shares that parking lot and they like to do donuts and ride really loudly starting at like 10pm to like 2pm. I was raised around motorcycles, so I found it rather soothing, my roommate however did not. As for parking for the rest of the complex...I'm unsure, but it looked like a total bitch. So something to think about. Okay I think that's all the cons, so as you can see the pros out weigh the cons. I've noticed that a lot of property management companies have horrible reviews, so I wanted to say that this place was great. I would have lived there for years to come if rent hadn't gotten too high for me and my roommate hadn't moved to Costa Rica. Hope this helps!
