Paramount Apartments

I liked living a the Paramount Apts. The staff was awesome. The Landlord, Nita and the Maintenance man, Jovanni were very responsive to whatever I needed. In my opinion they went over and beyond the call of duty when I needed help with any thing. They made my stay there pleasant and I would recommend living there to anyone. I did have some issues, the building is not new, but it is kept well and it is maintained. It's also located very near the bus line, train, and bus car/trolley. I could get… most anywhere from that location within a reasonable amount of time and within a short walking distance. Very close to downtown where lots of restaurants and shopping are. Read More

I lived in a 1 bedroom in this building for over a year and a half and was so sad to leave. The building is an older 1920’s bricker with LOADS of charm. French doors, wood floors, claw foot tubs, and even vintage telephones that actually work as your callbox!! I had new windows in all my units, new washers/dryers in a clean community area with vending machines, and all hallways/carpets were cleaned weekly. Besides the amazing centralized location, the best thing about living in this apartment is… the community. The building is quiet and friendly, and this culture is strong throughout the building because of two people, Nita (property manager) and Anthony (maintainence manager). I move VERY often and have lived all over the country, and I can honestly say, they were without a doubt the kindest staff at any apartment building I’ve ever lived in. They are understanding, welcoming, and respectful to all tenants. It’s like having the ultimate neighbors that will drop whatever their doing if you need a hand. Thank you Paramount! I miss it there already! Read More

My wife and I have lived at the Paramount for over three years. In that time we have learned a few things about the building. The bones of the building are beautiful! Our one bedroom has hardwood floors throughout and has been well maintained over the years. You can’t beat all of the original woodwork/ trim throughout as well.
The On-Site Property Manager Nita has been a dream the entire time we have lived here. She is always very receptive to the tenants needs and takes everyone concerns into… account. She always plants fresh flowers in the garden boxes in the spring and does a bit of holiday decoration in the winter too! She has pushed to better the building in the time we have lived here including getting the onsite washers and dryers upgraded to brand-new debit card reader machines as well as has a killer recycling program going too! The onsite Property Maintenance Manager Ant is awesome too! If you put in a service request (like a leaking faucet) he is there like that day if not the next. He always keeps the building looking fresh too.
Living in Portland is not cheep (as most know), but the effort that the Onsite Management team puts into this place is next to none. I highly recommend you check it out!

The apartments themselves are small, and could use some updating to deal with the constant noise of the freeway and the draftiness. For the price tag I don't personally believe they are worth it.

Additionally, the building manager and the management company made me feel incredibly unsafe through actions which apparently this website won't let me write about.

I wouldn't live here again, and I'd recommend that you don't either.
