You came to Portland for a reason. The food carts. The breweries. The fact that you can bike anywhere without feeling like a tourist. And now you want an apartment that actually keeps up with you.
The Truman is built, owned, and developed by Portland locals, obsessed with getting the details right. Think hidden drawers, built-in shelving, dimmable lighting, oversized windows, and sound proofing that actually works. Fiber optic internet hookups in every unit. Modern finishes throughout.
Planted at 44th & Hawthorne, you're in the dead center of SE, with a walk score of 89 and a bike score of 100. World-class food, breweries, shops, and coffee are all within a few blocks. And downstairs? Phaya Thai for when you need a quick, incredible meal, and Kure for your morning cold press, a healthy lunch, or (no judgment) a hangover cure.
This isn't a big corporate complex. It's a thoughtfully built building in a neighborhood people actually want to live in, priced to reflect that.
Come see it for yourself.
Pet Friendly. Cats allowed. Small and Large Dogs allowed. $35 month pet rent per pet. No pet security deposit.
