The Celine Apartamentos

Our AC/Heat has been broken since we moved in over 6 months ago. Many other things were broken/ non functional when we moved in, and took them months to fix. At this point, they have still not fixed the AC/Heat and the managers/ those working for the property seem to have disappeared. Have had 8 or so maintenance requests that have not been addressed for 3 months. Would suggest living elsewhere.

I only write reviews when they are 100% deserved and I have done enough research to objectively bring my opinion value. Here is a summary of my situation leading up to my decision to live at The Celine so that the full picture is perceived.
I lived in fantastic building under a great management team in the NE but my lease was up and I wanted to live in a NW neighborhood. I moved here almost 2 years ago from Los Angeles and was missing that big city buzz. The search for my next spot was on like... Donkey Kong!!
Between the research I had done when moving from out of state in addition to moving within Portland, I have visited or contacted almost every new/old building that exists or will in the near future. I am picky as my home in addition to where I put my money is very important to me. Many of them have significant concessions and offer certain ammenities that are appealing. I personally found that The Celine was the only one that hit all the marks I was looking for within the neighborhood I desired to live. I found them to be true luxury homes set at the right value.
The most significant factors leading to my decision are as follows:
1. It is by far the hottest building on the block in one of the best neighborhoods.
2. My leasing agent was knowledgeable, professional, helpful, patient, respectful and kind. She made the entire process much less stressful than it usually is and continues to do an outstanding job even after I moved in.
Remember renting a home is very different than purchasing a pair of shoes that have a return window. I personally want to be living around people that are honest and care about their business.
3. The modern interiors, timeless design, beautiful floor to ceiling windows, technologically advanced appliances, swirled marble counter tops, hardwood flooring throughout, and perfect lighting is to die for.
4. The neighborhood is vibrant. You get the best of both worlds, big city electricity mixed with peaceful Oregon nature, which equals true balance. The streets are safe, well lit, and filled with great shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues.
5. Since I have moved in I have noticed several people on a daily basis admire the building as they walk past. Many making complimentary statements or expressing desire to possibly live here.
6. Your friends will be Jelly.
7. I did the research for you - save yourself time and effort. Remember if you snooze you may loose. Check out The Celine before it fills up! Lee mas
