We're offering a sweet and simple 1 bed / 1 bath (~600 sq ft) private basement apartment in our well-loved SE Portland Woodstock home, an easy walk to Reed College trails and everything Woodstock. Ready to move in now. This self-contained unit has its own entrance, in-unit washer/dryer, and a small covered outdoor sitting area. It stays naturally cool in the summer (a big plus during heat waves). Ceilings are low with modest natural light, balanced by good lighting and updated finishes. Clean and well cared for. Rent: $1,375/month single occupancy (all utilities included: electric, gas, water/sewer, garbage, WiFi). +$100 for double occupancy. The apartment sits below a 3-bedroom upper level that will soon be rented as a furnished mid-term rental (traveling nurses and visiting professionals). We (the owners) with our two kids will be moving in April. As this is a shared property, some sound carries. Honoring quiet hours and maintaining clear, kind communication is important. We're seeking someone community-minded who values mutual respect and thoughtful shared living. We've lived here 8 years and have had just two long-term renters (each 4 years), and we value stable, positive relationships. The shared yard includes established fruit trees and berries (apples, figs, pears, plums, grapes, kiwi berries), with a possible garden bed available. About a 10-minute walk to groceries, restaurants, parks, schools, and direct access to the forested trails of Reed Canyon. Easy access to #17 and #10 Trimet. Potential rent credit available for clearly defined property support tasks (yard care, watering, light maintenance). Best suited for a single professional or quiet couple who appreciates gardens and a walkable, family-oriented neighborhood. First and last month's rent plus security deposit required. No pets. A screening fee of approximately $45 per adult applicant will be charged to cover the cost of credit, eviction, and background screening. Gross household income must be at least 2.5 times the monthly rent. All legal sources of income are accepted. Applicants should have at least 12 months of positive rental or housing history with no pattern of late payments, lease violations, or property damage. Applicants may be denied if they have an eviction judgment within the past 5 years or a pattern of eviction filings. Credit reports will be reviewed for financial responsibility, including payment history and outstanding collections. Criminal convictions will be evaluated in accordance with Portland and Fair Housing guidelines. Arrests alone are not considered. All utilities included, including wifi. First/last/security deposit due at signing. 6 or 12 month lease. Application fee + background check
