Grant Park Village Apartments

Garbage staff and building. Everything is always broken, area is dangerous and read the fine print because you will be hit with prohibitively high move out fees

I want to make sure to leave this review for anyone researching this apartment that might have mobility issues. We have been here under a year and the elevator has been out of order several times, each time lasting several days. The frequency and length of these issues could be a serious impact if you are unable to use stairs.

In a community that does see a large number of issues, my biggest concern is the lack of communication. There was an issue a few months back where several storage units... were broken into and there was never anything sent out to inform tenants (the office had brought in painters for the hallways/doors and painters left storage unit doors open to dry for several hours. Not the brightest move in this area). I was told by management that it would be a liability issue for them to have sent communication out about it. More recently there was an incident just a couple months ago where someone had their car stolen at knife point (in the “secure” lot) and once again, nothing sent out to inform tenants which feels like a serious safety issue to me. Not receiving updates around incidents like this does make it feel like management cares more about mitigating feedback from frustrated tenants than the actual safety of human beings.

I have seen some improvement in communication in the last couple months, but I still get my most timely/pertinent updates from other tenants.

My interactions with staff have been good and I trust office staff does their best considering the limitations of their leadership/Avenue5.

The actual apartments are great. We’re in a 2 bedroom and have lots of counter space in the kitchen and the appliances all work well. The main areas in the bedrooms as well as above the living room did not come with light fixtures which was interesting to see in a new construction building. But we installed lights with fans that help do a good job with air circulation in the summer. The Bluetooth stuff (like being able to control your lights/outlets through your phone) that was promoted on website and during tours does not work and is never going to so be weary of that. Community facilities are nice and mostly well kept.

Overall, it’s what you would expect for a new construction apartment in Portland located off a freeway that’s managed by a big company that lacks personal touch. Adjust your expectations based on that criteria and you’ll do just fine here. Read More

I've lived here for over 4 years because it was across the street from my work and I just recently moved out.

New management is terrible, especially compared to the previous property manager who was incredibly accommodating, far less condescending and didn't hit you with tons of random move out charges.

Safety safety safety! There is none! Check their Facebook page/Community forums on their own site and you will see that there a ton of break-ins in the paid parking spots, houseless people... using in the building/at entrances and wandering the hallways at times and tons of bikes stolen off property.

That being said, the office assistants, maintenance and security guards are all kind and helpful, but it certainly doesn't make it worth all of the other problems in and around the apartment complex. Read More

Please know that the area is not safe. I have had my car stolen and on another occasion broken into in the gated/secure parking lot (paying $150 a month to park). In addition, there is only one working camera in this secure parking area. Management is difficult in every way possible. Location is the only plus.

Grant Park's location is great! You're within walking distance of multiple stores. The only thing that could use some improvements is street parking.
