The Union

On 11/5 I had the pleasure to be paired up with Matt M to take me on a tour of The Union Apt. Building just a few steps from the Portland Convention Center and the MAX station, unbelievably convenient! That said, his demeanor was very respectful of my needs and the reasons why I was visiting with him and couldn’t have been a perfect mix. As always there’s a lot to cover and being new coming back into the rental process has changed 100% from what it was 20 years ago. Matt M. couldn’t have been more patient and glad he’s representing The Union Apartments. His demeanor matches the sophisticated beautiful building that he represents. With all the respect, great job Matt M.

We have lived at The Union for over eight years now – it’s a great place to live. The building is concrete – solid and very well designed, and is not quite 10 years old. It's also very secure – you need a fob not only to access the first floor, but also to access any of the elevator floors or stairwells as well as the package room. The apartments are QUIET – you occasionally hear people in the hall, but never through adjoining walls (in our experience, you may sometimes hear people walking upstairs or moving furniture, but nothing out of the ordinary). We’re less than a half block from three Max trains and at least three bus routes. If we walk down to a Moda Center event, we’re already back home before most people get to their cars or board Trimet. The Union floor plans make excellen

Matt was always professional and helpful. Prior management took way more pride in keeping the property clean. I stayed at the Union for a year & half and it was highly overpriced and the homeless stayed in front of the property regularly. I recently moved and found a better place to live with way more amenities and bag for my buck.

If you're considering renting an apartment here, proceed with caution—this place is not worth it. I cannot give it 0 stars, but I will share my recent experiences as a former tenant since the new management took over in Utah. 1. The office manager is rarely available during office hours, and when she is, she’s too busy to meet. 2. The leasing agents are unhelpful and dismissive, claiming that our problems aren’t their responsibility—yet it’s clearly their job. High turnover means new, inexperienced staff who can’t assist because they lack access to necessary systems. 3. They started charging administrative fees without any prior notification. While these fees were under $10, they are illegal in Oregon, and such lack of transparency is unacceptable. 4. Recently, they “accidently” added mon

After living at The Union for a little over two years, I’ve downgraded my review to 2 stars—and honestly, that feels generous. If you’re looking for constant headaches and zero accountability, this is the place. The downsides easily drown out any positives. Pros: -Central location -Plenty of public transit -Amenities used to be decent -Maintenance generally fixed things in a reasonable time -Rent was lower than other buildings when I first moved in Cons (there's a lot): -Fire alarms constantly going off in the middle of the night. Nothing like standing outside half asleep at 2 AM in the freezing cold...multiple times. -The entire property outside smells like dog pee. There’s nowhere for pets to go, so everyone just lets their dogs use the sidewalks. -Front office is nearly impossible t
