Summary:
Located in the vibrant Hawthorne District, our apartment is steps from Portland’s best restaurants, cafés, bookstores, brewpubs, and distilleries. Other services, like banks and massage therapists, are also nearby. About a mile from downtown, you can explore by bike, bus, or on foot. Our sleek, European-style interiors feature high-end surfaces and finishes for comfort and elegance. Note that there may be noise from neighbors; we’re happy to provide earplugs and a noise machine!
The Space:
Our building’s exterior stands out from the usual cityscape, featuring a blend of rusted metal siding, painted stucco panels, and black, burned Japanese Shou Sugi Ban wood, creating a signature look visible to anyone traveling on Hawthorne Boulevard. Nestled between the vibrant commercial sector of Hawthorne and leafy side streets adorned with architectural masterpieces from the past 120 years, this location offers the best of both worlds.
Inside, each unit is designed for comfort and style, boasting mini-split heating and cooling, stainless steel appliances (including dishwashers), in-unit washer/dryers, and 9-ft ceilings. The huge windows allow natural light to flood in, highlighting the gorgeous cabinetry with glittering quartz countertops. Enjoy modern amenities such as high-speed WiFi and cable TV, ensuring you stay connected and entertained during your stay.

The Neighborhood:
Commonly known as “Foodie Row,” the Hawthorne/Buckman District places you within walking distance of a wide variety of top-notch local flavors, with no chain restaurants in sight! Make new friends over vegan poutine fries and grilled PB&Js at the Cartopia food cart pod, indulge in delicious wings right around the corner at Fire on the Mountain, share a pie at Apizza Scholls (consistently voted Portland’s favorite pizza), or enjoy a fancy night out at Castagna—all within a 1.5-mile stretch.
Portland isn't just for foodies. Hawthorne boasts a vibrant indie spirit, with numerous made-in-Oregon shops and boutiques to explore in this hipster haven. Catch a movie at Bagdad Theater and Pub, a revamped 1920s theater turned view-and-brew venue, serving local McMenamins food and microbrews.
If bar hopping isn’t your idea of fun, head up to Mt. Tabor, a 196-acre city park atop a dormant volcano vent. Here, you'll find miles of hiking trails and incredible panoramic views of the city. Whether you’re into dining, shopping, or outdoor adventures, the Hawthorne/Buckman District has something for everyone. Enjoy your stay in this eclectic and lively neighborhood!
