1 year in and Sylvan Highlands is my favor rental experience

The staff here are incredible. They are very warm, friendly, and professional, and make the mood a delight. They really help this place feel like a community. Geoff at the main office is one of the most friendly and well qualified people (not just managers) I have ever met and I always look forward to speaking with him when I get the chance. I can tell that he truly cares about the well being of the residents. The amenities are fine (Pool, Hot Tub, Gym, Sauna, Meeting Room, etc.) though the gym is a bit lack luster if not having the essentials. The pool has recently been re-finished and surrounded with new lounge chairs that really make the pool area a great meeting place during the warm days. The Parking is a different story, however. There is enough parking for everyone but only just. During the day if you come home for lunch you'll be fine or anytime before about 4:30pm really, but anytime after that it's god-eat-dog. The parking lot is very long so once spaces start filling there is no guarantee that you'll be close to your building. Anytime after about 8pm or 9pm you can kiss that first, second, or thirtieth favorite spot goodbye. With my apartment in the first building and guest parking at the farthest end of the property, guests of mine often look blankly at me when I tell them where they have to park. Thankfully the complex offers underground and individual garage parking for an extra monthly charge for residents, again though, it's slim pickings and hard to get one of those. If you don't mind walking in the weather to and from your car on occasion, this place is a gem. Interiors are above average (sound insulation is scary quiet too), staff is wonderful and caring, and the amenities are great. It's also worth noting that while we are so close to Highway 26, the sound from the highway never creeps into the property (and I'm one of the closest residents to it). Over all, I'm really glad I have the place I do and would highly recommend it.

We always appreciate a review that highlights not only the qualities of the community but the areas needing improvement. Our staff understands the grind residents go through at apartment community settings. Not only do we listen to the residents, we try to find a better solution for their issues. Telling people we work where you live means we must utilize the staff power that we have each day to keep Commons at Sylvan Highlands operating the way residents expect it to be 24 hours a day. We are here for people to drop into the office for a tour of the community, to ask us a question, resident service requests or simply to pick up a package 7 days a week. Here is to making your 2nd year at the community better than the first! Thank you, Geoffrey Colton - Property Manager

Warm, Welcoming, and Lovely

The staff here at Sylvan have been nothing but kind, welcoming, and helpful to me since my arrival here a few months ago. They are always friendly, receptive, willing to chat, and they have each gone out of their way to help me on multiple occasions. The apartment itself is quiet, spacious, well maintained, and comfortable. Any issues we've had with maintenance, such as dead light fixtures, window troubles, or other concerns have been addressed swiftly and thoroughly. The other residents I've met so far have also been friendly and warm. While it can be difficult to find parking in the lots, especially in the evenings, having a spot in the parking structure has been incredibly convenient, and most importantly, dry! The pool, hot tub, and sauna are all quite nice, however, the gym does feel a little claustrophobic, with very bright florescent lights, lower ceilings, and a slight funny smell. Other than that, its been a wonderful experience living here at Sylvan Highlands!

Caorlyn, we are so glad your are enjoying the community. We will definitely do a bit of brainstorming to make the fitness room a bit more inviting. One example how we've responded to the residents was the transformation of the pool area of the Summer. We added high quality furniture and fresh coat of paint that gives the pool that "walk right in" feeling. Our goal is to continue improving the quality of living for the resident. Don't ever hesitate to provide us with any ideas. Thank you for making Commons at Sylvan Highlands the community that it is. Much respect, Geoffrey Colton - Property Manager

If you don't already live here, you're missing out.

I've lived here for almost a year, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found this Portland jem. The place is better than a high class hotel (except the room service part, but there are restaurants right around the corner who can deliver!). The maintenance people are ridiculously friendly. The hot tub is always clean. The other residents are respectful and have cute pets. However my favorite part about living here is the staff. Even stepping for in the office as a first time visitor, one thing's for sure: you'll always be taken care of. They write sincere monthly news letters, facilitate community bonding activities, and ingraciate you with bad puns every so often. It's perfect. And you'll always get a wave from the manager, Geoffe, who also never fails to remember your name and ask how you're doing. If you're looking for the best apartment experience you can possibly find, congratulations. You've done it.

Recently moved to the Portland, Oregon area with a friend. We probably looked at around 20+ different places but were totally blown away with the quality and price-point we found at the commons at sylvan highlands. Amazing service from Tatiana and Anna during the whole process. Both were friendly and helpful. Right on top of it whenever we had questions. Highly recommend the property for anyone looking for an apartment with easy access to both Beaverton and Portland.

Living here has just been a dream for my family. The rooms in each of the apartments are neat and well organized. When I asked for maintenance and small fixes, the answer was quick and efficent. The parking situation was ideal, as we usually parked near the staircase and walked up to our apartment. There is always space near the floors, although that might be because we are at the very end of the apartments. In all, it was brillient to stay here. With the nice managers, good parking, and mainte

Moving from out of state, I've heard of so many nightmare stories of properties not being what they seemed. This is one of those times where the property accurately reflected what they say they are and more. From the time we toured the property to the last few months living here, I can honestly say that the manager and team here care about their residents. They take the time to invest in their residents, from throwing events to bring residents together, to creating an inviting environment in

I've been living here coming up on two years. The property management and staff is top of the line. They exceed all expectations. I would and have referred friends and family to live here. Plus they have a pool, hot tub, gym and a suana. Great place to live.

have owned a dozen houses in 4 countries and recently decided to sell 2 houses in Portland. Moved in April 2016 a little apprehensive as I haven't rented for 34 years; always an owner or landlord. Experience couldn't be better: - management team are professional, courteous, helpful, & remember me - maintenace are so fast they sometimes get to my door before me after request made at office - buildings are quiet. Sometimes wonder if anyone else lives down hallway - great location: drop down Burns

The management is great and helps with any service needed. Lots of floor plan options, huge pool and hot tub, and even secured building entries! The Commons supply great living options for whatever you need.

I recently moved into The Commons at Sylvan Highlands, Portland, because of the professionalism, a friendly staff and a really great property manager, Geoffrey. There are many reasons to move to this property but the main reason is that the staff is top notch, cares and they are very accommodating! They even do community service! I felt "at home" even if it were for a short while, my son and I was greeted with such sincerity and Geoffrey (calm) took the time to explain the "community" just re

I've been living here since July of 2012 and really couldn't ask for more. The floor plans are spacious, the location is perfect (less than 10 minutes from downtown Portland), and the staff is attentive, fun, and personable. It's rare to find an apartment that feels like you're in the middle of nature while being so close to bars and restaurants of northwest and downtown. Don't plan on moving any time soon!

Awesome, secluded location just 10 minutes from downtown Portland. Apartments and grounds are clean and well maintained. Staff is extremely helpful and very nice. Quiet environment makes the apartment living experience here great. Recommended for first timers or privacy seekers. Best complex you've never heard of.
