The Celine Apartments

offered great friendly advice. Thanks for making this move the best:-)

Issues: Split unit noise/no heating/cooling Garbage disposal issues Flickering lights/missing light fixtures Leaking bathroom sink (resolved 3/4/25) Weather stripping for doors (resolved 3/4/25) Fob to building (resolved 3/4/25) Unresolved Issues: Internet not working (high priority, unresolved) Key to street door not provided Timeline of Events: 1/17/25 (Move-In): Several issues present, including scratches on the floor, missing light fixtures, and a noisy split unit with no heat. I contacted management about getting a key. 1/18/25: I messaged management to schedule internet installation (1/22/25, 2-5 pm). 1/20/25: Followed up on the key and split unit maintenance. Management responded they would provide a key and address the heating issue. 1/27/25: Followed up on move-in issues and asked about a fob. Management confirmed they would provide one and set up maintenance. 1/28/25: Internet tech confirmed faulty wiring from the telecom room. I relayed this to management. 2/3/25: HVAC tech arrived but couldn’t get in touch with management. I had to let him in. He identified the split unit needed a new blower. I informed management. 2/13/25: Sent a detailed message outlining all the issues. Received a building code but no fob/key. Internet tech visit scheduled for 2/17/25. 2/17/25: Internet tech arrived but couldn’t access the telecom room. No response from management. 2/21/25: Technician confirmed wiring issue. Followed up with management. 2/24/25: Another technician confirmed cables couldn’t be fixed by him. I flagged down a worker to call management. By this point, I had no internet since 2/21/25, which is an issue since I work from home. 2/25/25 - 3/5/25: Continued to reach out for updates on the internet issue with little response from management. Final Thoughts: Do not move here. If you face issues, getting management to resolve them is a long and frustrating process. Be prepared for constant follow-ups and poor communication.

Donkey Kong!! Between the research I had done when moving from out of state in addition to moving within Portland, I have visited or contacted almost every new/old building that exists or will in the near future. I am picky as my home in addition to where I put my money is very important to me. Many of them have significant concessions and offer certain ammenities that are appealing. I personally found that The Celine was the only one that hit all the marks I was looking for within the neighborhood I desired to live. I found them to be true luxury homes set at the right value. The most significant factors leading to my decision are as follows: 1. It is by far the hottest building on the block in one of the best neighborhoods. 2. My leasing agent was knowledgeable, professional, helpful, patient, respectful and kind. She made the entire process much less stressful than it usually is and continues to do an outstanding job even after I moved in. Remember renting a home is very different than purchasing a pair of shoes that have a return window. I personally want to be living around people that are honest and care about their business. 3. The modern interiors, timeless design, beautiful floor to ceiling windows, technologically advanced appliances, swirled marble counter tops, hardwood flooring throughout, and perfect lighting is to die for. 4. The neighborhood is vibrant. You get the best of both worlds, big city electricity mixed with peaceful Oregon nature, which equals true balance. The streets are safe, well lit, and filled with great shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues. 5. Since I have moved in I have noticed several people on a daily basis admire the building as they walk past. Many making complimentary statements or expressing desire to possibly live here. 6. Your friends will be Jelly. 7. I did the research for you - save yourself time and effort. Remember if you snooze you may loose. Check out The Celine before it fills up!
