Portland, OR Apartments for Rent

Portland, where the Willamette and Columbia rivers meet, has earned its spot as one of America's most eco-friendly cities with over 10,000 acres of protected parkland and miles of bike paths and walking trails. If you're searching for apartments for rent in Portland, you'll discover Oregon's largest city offers an amazing mix of sustainability and creativity, all surrounded by the Coastal and Cascade Mountain ranges.

Renting in Portland is perfect for budget-conscious renters thanks to its stellar public transportation system. With TriMet buses, the MAX light rail, and downtown streetcar service, you really don't need a car here. Popular neighborhoods like the Pearl District and Buckman feature apartment communities close to great shopping and dining spots. Meanwhile, North Portland and Sellwood-Moreland offer more wallet-friendly options with quick access to the city's booming tech scene and major employers like Nike and Adidas. Between the walkable streets, bike-friendly infrastructure, and easy escapes to Mount Hood or the Oregon Coast, Portland delivers both city perks and outdoor adventures that make renting here a smart choice.

Why Portland?

  • Environmentally-friendly Portland is one of the greenest cities in the world
  • Mountain views, sprawling parks like the International Rose Test Garden, and the Willamette River
  • Amazing coffee houses, film festivals, and a hip indie music and arts scene
  • Outdoor activities such as hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, skiing, and snowboarding
  • Restaurants, vineyards and wineries, breweries, festivals, museums, and theaters
  • Home to Portland State University, the Oregon Zoo, and the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry
