The Cameron 1500 SW 12th Ave`, Portland, OR 97201

"Honestly I’ve never had such a positive experience renting an apartment in Portland. It’s so extremely difficult to get into anyplace it seems but I’m so lucky that Nancy was helping me get introduced here. She is quick to work and get you into your new home with as little stress possible. 10/10 experience!"

"I've been a building resident for almost 3 years, and can't thank the staff leasing consultant Nancy Velasco and the maintenance team enough for caring about the building, as well as occupant safety and convenience. Under Nancy's management, things improved a lot with utilities maintenance and trash/recycle removal, timely notifications going out about needed testing and maintenance of fire systems, plumbing, and other infrastructure. Having her here and interacting with her adds a lot to the building appeal, convenient location and abundant transportation options, and good neighbors, and it's my pleasure to express and extend my thanks to her and staff."

"Nancy was amazing upon move in and has been one of the most friendliest property managers i’ve had in my years of renting!! Always greets me with a smile and also has great conversations:) overall the great experience and i’ve been here since september! nancy makes this place very welcoming. def would recommend this place! super dope location close to safeway and other convenient stores."

"Nancy was amazing. She walked me through everything, and had everything ready for me and I was able to get into my apartment and get some stuff moved before I make the big move. I definitely recommend this place."

"I’ve been living here for about a month and overall my experience has been very good! Worth the price for sure. This was one of the cheaper buildings in downtown and its units had much bigger square footage than other buildings. So far I am happy with my choice and would recommend if you are looking for a no-fluff building that offers all the basics for a comfortable living experience. Pros: 1. The staff is very friendly! I have mostly dealt with Nancy Velasco, and she’s fantastic. She is welcoming, receptive, and genuinely cares about the residents and their well-being. She has always been happy to answer all my questions and has tried her best to find ways to accommodate my needs. Any cons about the place are not at all her fault as she tried her best to fix them or compensate for them. 2. The building is generally clean and functional at all times. There are two elevators, a small gym with the basic equipment, a cute little courtyard with tables, bike storage, and a mail room. The building has one entrance that is accessible only by FOB and so are the stairwells and elevators to the upstairs floors, which makes me feel very safe. 3. The apartments are clean and functional. Love having the carpeting in the bedroom, the large windows, in-unit washer/dryer, and spacious floor plan. The floors and walls are pretty thick so I can’t hear the neighbors much. There is a lot of storage space and cabinets, which is really nice. 4. The location is very convenient if you want downtown to be accessible to you. Safeway is only a block away, there are restaurants and coffee shops in walking distance, public transportation nearby, and there is a city bike rental station right outside. 5. So far my neighbors have been polite and respectful so no problems there. Amazon packages are delivered to my front door and so far no issues with stolen packages. Cons 1. The AC in my unit (not centralized) is insufficient for the space and doesn’t actually cool the place down. The windows don’t open fully so air circulation / temperature control isn’t always great and I need to keep the windows open most of the day. Which brings me to— 2. Since we’re in downtown, it can get pretty noisy. It’s not crowded, but there’s yelling on the streets now and then and people around drive very loud vehicles (you know the ones I’m talking about). I’m a heavy sleeper so it’s generally fine, and if you keep windows closed it’s not bad. That said, I have not felt unsafe outside. There are houseless people, but that is what downtowns are generally like and they are generally not a threat. 3. Just a personal thing, but my unit has the front door opening into the kitchen and I wish there was a little more space for shoes so I didn’t have to stash them where I do, but nothing the building can do about that. 4. Maintenance has been slow but they do come through as quickly as they can, and that’s not Nancy’s or the staff’s fault—it’s just been difficult to get the appropriate staff. Nancy has been going above and beyond to try and make things smooth for tenants though! 5. Moving in was a hassle only because I ordered a moving truck, and there was no designated space for them to park and unload as the building doesn’t have a garage. You’ll need to reserve street parking with the city a couple weeks in advance. But if you are driving or bringing a uhaul, management has an area in the back where you unload (it’s normally reserved for maintenance). The elevators are also equipped for moving and otherwise the moving process was smooth. Nancy was helpful and easy to reach throughout the process."
