Grand Belmont

James Henry Manning

Great apartments, with awesome interior designs and natural lighting. The location is quite good, East Side but close to the city center by bus and bike. Incredible North-East corner apartments, with views of Mount Hood and the city center!! I had a great experience with Christina and Chris, they both helped me out with all my doubts, eased out the application process for me and were very attentive during my tours and calls. Congrats for the work! Keep it up!

I’ve been at Grand Belmont for about 8 months now. I absolutely love the building, the location, and my apartment! The staff has changed a bit but Allyssa has been here for the duration of my stay. She is absolutely amazing and knowledgeable when it comes to any question I have. She also goes out of the way to make sure we are happy and comfortable here. My biggest complaint is that there is so much free space unused on the first floor yet we don’t have a gym! It’s a bit wild since many of the surrounding new developments have gyms, rock climbing walls, etc. The neighborhood has been getting increasingly sketchy as well (especially the 7 eleven a block away). But overall I do enjoy living here and the location is hard to beat.

Moving into Grand Belmont has proven the best decision I've made regarding renting in Portland. The Ave. 5 management crew are outstanding, friendly and really care about tenant's happiness, plus they've been extremely responsive to any ideas, concerns, or new building issues I've had making for a refreshingly stress-free first 3 months of living here. I'm looking forward to many more! Update April 2021 -- it's been over a year, my first 1bd lease was up and I grabbed a vacant corner unit 2bd/2bh on the same floor. I've added a functional office space and tripled my storage with 3 closets and double the square footage, plus enjoy a huge open area living room that faces west for some impressive sunsets. The kitchen are still badass and the best in town, makes GB feel condo like and more of a home than a rental. Given the COVID era we've had, living at Grand Belmont, and continuing to do so is a great choice. I'm happy at GB, managers are excellent and always friendly/helpful, and worked hard for me to get the right unit. The building has a great package delivery service area/mailroom with text alerts for delivery with Luxor (it's crucial in today's world) and we're still surrounded by tons of small business and food options for almost anything you need or are in the mood for (most spots survived and are open again). There might be less overall amenities here than other buildings, but what we have is nice with a large community lounge/patio area with BBQ's. I'd love to see the first floor vacant retail space become a building gym/work out facility, and I know the parking has been a challenge at times (but that is a mostly SE Portland issue more than anything GB has done or not done). Plus, there is a more than enough bike parking too for those that ride. The main con is the single main entrance on Belmont can be a tough issue in the wet/cold winter trying to carry stuff from the street (if you don't have parking garage access), but you plan for it and deal with it. A fob-controlled tenant access door on Yamhill is my only real gripe and really needed, (it'd be a big help) -- I'm giving GB 5-stars going into my second year living here. Why? Mostly it's because the quality of the units are better. They're honestly really nice. Great floors, which are super durable, stylish yet easy to maintain, the awesome kitchens (again lol), with lots of great natural light (when stuck inside so much -- this is a big deal). Impressive sound deadening too for being at the street corner Grand & Belmont/Morrision Bridge access point. You're in the heart of the city, you will experience Portland raw some days, it comes with the territory, but if you want it, want out of the suburbs, and desire to live in a busy option-loaded urban area in a great part of town, centrally located, GB has a lot to offer. Come be my f'n neighbor! I'm a hoot lol ;)... and as always, Go Blazers!

So far I have had nothing but responsive and thoughtful communication from the management company. Annie and Jordan are amazing. It has made the stress that is moving so much easier. The building is well built and everyone is so friendly. It’s new so things are still getting worked out but that’s where the great management team makes all the difference. Love the floor plan, appliances and my view! My apartment is so quiet. Maintenance is professional and responsive. Every time I come home me and my pup are greeted with a warm smile and sincere interest. The location is really hard to beat. So many great new things in this area. Couldn’t be happier with my choice.
