The Space:

This private two-level 1BR apartment sits behind the main blue house, close to Hawthorne cafes, restaurants, vintage shops, and Ladd's Addition.



Inside, the main living level has a sofa, Smart TV, fast WiFi, dining nook that can work for laptop use, and full kitchen with dishwasher, range, full-size fridge, microwave, cookware, coffee maker, and wine glasses. The queen bedroom is upstairs, along with the bathroom.



Cooling and primary heat come from a mini-split in the main living/dining area, with cadet wall heaters as backup. The bedroom does not have its own A/C unit, so airflow can be less direct upstairs; a fan may help guests who sleep warm.



Shared laundry is available in the basement of the main house.



Guest Access:

This private two-level tower apartment is yours, with no shared interior living spaces. It is part of the SE 25th Towers property, and basement laundry/common property areas are shared.

The Neighborhood:

Commonly known as “Foodie Row,” the Hawthorne/Buckman District puts 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, get messy with wings right around the corner at Fire on the Mountain, share a pie at Apizza Scholls (consistently voted Portland’s favorite pizza), or opt for a fancy night out at Castagna—all within a 1.5-mile stretch.



Portland isn't just for foodies; the vibrant indie spirit of Hawthorne is alive with plenty of made-in-Oregon shops and boutiques to explore. Catch a movie at the Bagdad Theater and Pub, a revamped 1920s theater turned view-and-brew venue serving local McMenamins food and microbrews. If bar hopping through neighborhoods isn’t your idea of recreation, head up to Mt. Tabor, a 196-acre city park atop a dormant volcano vent, where you’ll find miles of hiking trails and incredible panoramic views of the city.



Getting Around:

🚶 Walking — This neighborhood sits between the Division and Hawthorne corridors, two of Portland's best streets for dining and shopping — both within easy walking distance.



🚌 Bus — TriMet Route 2 (Division) and Route 75 (Cesar Chavez) provide frequent service to downtown (~15 min).



🚲 Biking — BIKETOWN bike-share stations nearby. Portland's bike lane network makes cycling easy and safe.



🚗 Driving — Free street parking available (read signs for restrictions). Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) typically arrives in under 5 minutes.



✈️ Airport — PDX is about 15 minutes by car or a quick MAX + bus connection.



Other Things to Note:

🧳 Stair note: There are interior stairs after entry, including stairs up to the bedroom. This may be difficult with heavy luggage or mobility concerns.



🌡️ Climate note: The mini-split is in the main living/dining area. The bedroom does not have its own A/C unit, so airflow can be less direct upstairs; a fan may help guests who sleep warm.
