Bad management. VERY unprofessional. Jasmine should not be the one responsible for running this complex. Been trying to reach out and they have the worst communication.

Looking for an apartment for a friend I came across these. The grounds were pretty and quiet. I really liked the fresh look of the new remodels. And the leasing manager, Katherine, was very nice and professional. I felt comfortable with my experience.

My husband and I have lived in the Melrose Apartments for nearly 18 months and we don't have plans to move in the near future. Our apartment is just the right size for our two person family needs. The layout keeps the apartment open to hosting gatherings of 8 people comfortably. The lighting in the apartment keeps the rooms well lit. The maintenance on the apartment has been timely. The location is also ideal if you're someone who's travelling up north or south often, as commuters, we are grateful for the location and designated parking per unit. I would definitely recommend!

Our family of four have lived in a two-bedroom for over a year. The entire interior has been renovated, with all new appliances, I think in most all the apartments. It's clean, comfortable and well-appointed.

Lived at the Melrose Apartments in Portland OR for about 2 1/2 years. My first experience was with Jarrell , very helpful manager. Even though we had cockroaches and a maggot problem , he did take care of that issue quickly. Then Avenue 5 changed management and had employed Cierra , Also very helpful and UNDERSTANDING of some of the situations my partner and I were going through at the time. Cierra had moved on and ONCE AGAIN Avenue 5 changed management to a women named Brittney and another women that at the time was working alongside her (unsure of her name). Things quickly became stressful. They

My wife and I have lived at the melrose apartments for about a year and a half and have had an absolutely awesome experience with the location, conditions of living, and management interactions. When we first moved in they had actually let us move in before they had finished all the renovations because we had some time restrictions, but still communicated very effectively to arrange a time that was most convenient for us to have everything finished.
We've also had very quick service when we had anything that needed to be fixed or replaced, even when we had an emergency at almost midnight; they

I love living at The Melrose! Only a few miles from great food trucks, new seasons, and some great bars.I have been thoroughly impressed with the property manager Debbie. She is improving many things at The Melrose such as parking, safety, and connecting the apartment community. I will 100% be renewing my lease!!

The property managers are always positive and helpful.  Any repairs are taken care of quickly.  And the place is conveniently located, near the bus, 7/11, Fred Meyer, as well as the world-famous downtown St. Johns!

This is by far one of the best in terms of location, safety and being in a prime location. I've been here since April of 2018 and if there has ever been a problem, it usually takes about a day for them to respond. I would also like to add that they provide security that comes and walks around at night. I think this is a bonus seeing that at night there can be some characters hanging around (you'll see this anywhere though) so having this is a plus. I also love the friendliness of the people who work here as well. I think next April I will be renewing my lease they're also pretty

I called to tour this apartment complex and was able to get a tour on the same day! Ciara took us on a tour and she was able to ask all the questions I had! Very friendly staff, and great area! Loved the tour.

There are no other reviews for a reason, this place is not for you.

I was supposed to move here from CA, and found these apts on Apartments.com. They looked great and it seemed like it was a good place for the price. I didn't get a chance to tour the place beforehand and that was where I went wrong.

Made contact with the staff via email, and was greeted nicely and promptly. They answered my questions quickly which was nice, and I set a move in day OVER A MONTH IN ADVANCE. Now, this is where things get bad.

Two weeks before move in I e-signed the lease, happy days headed up to Portland
