6117 NE 9th Ave, Portland, OR 97211

Very rare opportunity for this 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom house in an amazing inner NE Portland neighborhood! Built in 2012, this home was last publicly listed in... 2015, and the most recent tenants lived here for 8 years. See the below information on the open house this weekend, as this house isn't likely to be available for long after the open application period begins at 1:00 PM on Sunday, December 14, concurrent with the start of the open house. No tours are available before the open house. Please read the full advertisement carefully.

The home is located on the alley between NE 8th and NE 9th Ave. It is a NW Energy Star and Earth Advantage Platinum certified home for energy efficiency and sustainable construction materials. It was selected for the 2012 City of Portland Build It Green homes tour and features vaulted ceilings, skylights, in-floor radiant heating throughout the house, stainless steel appliances, a walk-in closet that doubles as a laundry room, off-street parking, and a private fenced yard. Storage space is available in the attic loft (see pictures) and detached shed.

Great location in the quiet inner-NE Woodlawn neighborhood with nearby access to I-5. Walk or bike to the Dekum Triangle, NE Alberta, N Mississippi, and N Williams shops, restaurants, and pubs. Less than a mile to Peninsula, Alberta, and Woodlawn parks. Courteous pets with strong references are welcome with additional $300 deposit! No pet rent.

Open house viewing Sunday, December 14, 2025, from 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM. Please park on either NE 8th or NE 9th Ave, on the block north of Ainsworth St., walk south to Ainsworth and around the corner 1/2 block to the alley between NE 8th and NE 9th Ave (see image with the map of the block to get oriented). This house is the green house with yellow door at the end of the alley on the right side. This will prevent traffic jams in the alley and allow us all to be courteous to the neighbors. Thanks!

The application period will begin at 1:00 PM on Sunday, December 14. In the event that multiple parties are present at the open house at 1:00 PM, a drawing will be held to break the "virtual tie" and determine the order that applications received from those parties will be processed. For any parties arriving after 1:00 PM, priority order for processing applications will be determined by order of arrival (applications will be provided in that order). A government-issued ID or any non-governmental ID that would permit a reasonable verification of identity is required for viewing. This is a security measure for you and all future tenants.

About me: this listing is published by the owner/manager. I do not use a property management company. I have 14 years of experience as a property manager and my tenants tend to stay in my two only rental units, Unit A and Unit B at this address, for long durations. I'm happy to provide references to some of my past tenants upon request. I treat my tenants as my respected customers.

Please note that the unit for rent is not an Accessible Dwelling Unit. "Accessible Dwelling Unit" means a Dwelling Unit that qualifies as a "Type A Unit" pursuant to the Oregon Structural Building Code and ICC A117, which pertains to the design of facilities for individuals for disabilities.
