Apartment Review from a Current Renter

This is the best apartment community we've ever lived in and it has the best management team I've ever seen! They are so professional, kind, and down to Earth. I am especially taken with Randi and the fun community events she organizes. The only qualms we have are concerning the air and heating system that doesn't seem to regulate well. It's usually too warm or too cold. The construction noise is annoying and starts very early in the morning. Since our rent just raised to the "market rate," I feel the construction wasn't taken into consideration in regards to the higher rent amount (also the 24 hour logistics department noise from across the street.) That being said, I'm sure the management team didn't make that decision and this is still a great community.

Great community.

Everything is great. Keeping the rooftop open later on the weekends would be great. Everyone in the office is awesome.

Love the office staff and the maintenance staff, they are great!

Office staff is the best I have ever seen. Love the events, would like to have more! People who let their pets do 1 or 2 in front of elevators should be talked to! Love pets but feel people need to control their pets more when moving around the building. Rent increases should not be automatic.

I have enjoyed living at The Matisse. The building is very nice and my apartment is very comfortable. The staff is very pleasant and I have enjoyed knowing them all. My one concern is the current rent. It has become very expensive to live here, even though it is close to my work. I am finding myself having to find a new place to live.

I have been impressed with everything here so far. I feel safe in this community and appreciate how well they cater to OHSU employees/students. My only concern is that the gate to the parking garage never seems to be closed, which sort of defeats the purpose of a gate.

The location and staff are outstanding! Randi and Josh have been amazing to worth with the last few years. Always helpful and always friendly! We would appreciate more payment options when paying rent. Our main complaint is the consruction outside our windows, outside our bedroom window. They often lease very bright lights on overnight. The Matisse staff has no control over this, but it would be nice if a reduced deposit was offered to residents wanting to change units.

My wife and I will be ending our lease in June solely because we're moving to Europe. If we had remained in the States, we would have renewed without hesitation.

I have always loved The Matisse community. It's a place I truly feel I can call home. Incredible staff and apartments. Rent increases drive out people who I am grateful to call my neighbors. Please enforce non-smoking policies more strictly. Please control rent increases in an effort to sustain the community.

I love living at The Matisse. I feel genuinely cared for by everyone who works here and I feel the same for them. This is my home, it's beautiful and I feel safe here. Thak you for encouraging such a positive and caring community. Things I would love to see added to this community include: ability to pay rent on credit card, vending machine in South building, guest parking (or maybe ability to rent a space in weekly chunks to help when out of town guests visit.) Thank you!

Josh has been a fantastic leasing agent for the past three years. He's friendly, responsive, and always follows through.

Apartment Review from a Current Renter

The apartment managers and leasing staff are the most accommodating I have come across. We have had issues with the ventilation, and the staff made a good faith effort to fix the issue. The problem is the design and structure and results from using a vent that recirculates air back into the unit.

Maintenance team is incredibly responsive and thorough. Management is professional, timely, and helpful.
