Apartment Review from a Current Renter

Would:
The staff is great.

Would not:
Nearby restaurants and grocery stores are non-existent. The price is high for what you are getting compared to other apartments in the area. We've recently seen 3 brand new apartments in the area with more amenities, equivalent building standards (LEED certified), with much better rent prices.

I feel safe, staff is great, the apartments and buildings are well kept, close to downtown.

Apartment Review from a Current Renter

Rent is expensive but again that is Portland.
Thank you for your comment!
We value your time and experience with us as one of our many satisfied residents. Although The Matisse is highly competitive in terms of price and value vs. nearly any other comparable community in this immediate South Waterfront neighborhood, please never hesitate to come speak with management directly if pricing is ever a concern. We'd be happy to review your charges and explore the most cost effective renewal options. Our goal is to keep you with us and happy for years to come.

Sincerely,

Your Matisse Team

Downtown living is expensive but I feel like I get the best value here at the Matisse.

Apartment Review from a Current Renter

The apartments are decent and it a relatively quiet area of the city. The streetcar stop is very convenient and the staff is great.
Dear Thai,
The south waterfront is a great area to live in, just a street car ride to downtown, but still it's own little oasis. It is great to see you enjoy living at The Matisse. We take pride in the community and appreciate you as a resident. Thank you very much for your feedback.

I recommend it to everyone, but it's too expensive more most single friends. Rent is easier to afford in multiple bedroom homes that can be shared.
Thank you so much for continuing to recommend The Matisse to friends and colleagues. We are always happy to give them up to date information to see if any of the studios, one bedroom, or two bedroom floor plans fit what they are looking for. Thank you again!

I already have recommended someone move into this complex and they have been here for over a year.
Greg,
We appreciate you recommending The Matisse to your friends and colleagues. We hope that you continue to enjoy your living experience and feel proud to share with others.

Sincerely,

Are you kidding me? Incredibly thin walls, loud neighbors with no respect for others, and poor sound deadening; able to hear running water IN the wall. I've lived in many places in socal and none have been like this...ever...

We love that the office staff take the time to get to know the tenants personally. We also really enjoy the small perks like being able to rent kayaks and such.

Apartment Review from an Independent Evaluator

This is a very nice community. The leasing agent went above and beyond to make the tour a personable experience.

Apartment Review from an Independent Evaluator

Spacious apartments with great natural light! Can't beat the South Waterfront location, so close to downtown, but out of the fray of it all! Beautiful apartments in a beautiful location!

Apartment Review from a Current Renter

Awesome staff.

Apartment Review from a Current Renter

The staff is very friendly and helpful, particularly Randi S. The building is beautiful and well maintained. The only thing that could make it better would be rooftop garden boxes and a hot tub.

Apartment Review from a Current Renter

Elevators often sticky and/or smelly. LOVE the maintenance personnel. Always leave nice notes with the job summary. Wish there were more parking spaces couple living in one bedroom has 2 cars to get to 2 jobs but only 1 parking space. Option to pay extra for another spot would be nice. Apartment tends to be very hot all year round, need to always run A/C.
