Gateway Terrace Apartments — Attraction in Portland

Lived here almost 4 years and there are no amenities for them to be charging as much as they are for rent. They were doing an exterior update when I was in the process of moving out. There is a laundry room on site, but they are not the cleanest machines, I’ve had some of my clothes ruined from people using bleach in their loads of laundry. The buildings are older so be prepared for the floors to creek everytime you walk on them, and if you live on the first floor you will constantly hear your upstairs neighbors. Winco and Fred meyers are right down the street so there is quite a bit of homeless activity. Property manager is very nice and responds quickly. Maintenance is also nice, I didn’t have many maintenance requests but when I did, he gets things done quickly. If you leave anything outside, be prepared for it to get stolen or rummaged through.

I am going on my third year here at Gateway Terrace, and im so happy i am. They make our safety, cleanliness, access, and overall happiness priorities, and i am so grateful.

I, personally, usually have a few off the wall questions, and the front office and building manager is always so nice and patient with me. I can trust where I live, and that's really cool. All the neighbors are respectful. Laundry on site. Pets allowed. Easy to use tenant portal for payments, maintenance, and all that jazz. 10 out of 10. Best...

pros -ample storage space -responsive maintenance -relatively quiet -limited carpet -designated parking lot

cons -long commute (this is a commuter’s nightmare. The only time it’s been a commuter’s paradise is a Friday morning on spring break.) -laundry is not in unit -houseless population (due to proximity to groceries, transit and deserted portions of 99th) -they’re refinishing the exterior for all their buildings, so be prepared for some construction -no air conditioning -everytime my neighbors smoked, the smell came up through my fireplace and into my apartment -pictures on website are over-glorified in...
