The Goat Blocks pays homage to its unique history dating back to the 1920s when local farmers and Italian restauranteurs came together to form a co-op across two city blocks in SE Portland. The area became known as Portland's very own "Little Italy" and home to a bustling bazaar where retailers, farmers, and wholesalers met to do business together. After a fire destroyed the block in 2002, the property sat vacant until years later. In 2012, a herd of goats was brought in as an environmentally friendly way to maintain the grass field. The neighborhood affectionately dubbed the area “Goat Blocks,” which today aptly describes this diverse, mixed-use, apartment community we invite you to call home. The Goat Blocks offers studio, one, two, and three-bedroom apartments and townhomes for rent across four distinct buildings in Portland’s progressive Central Eastside. It’s a place to live, connect, and gather.

I was one of the first residents at the GoatBlocks when it opened in 2017, before many of the new nearby apartments were even up, neither of the Moderas and no Windsor. Decided on the 1025 building. One of the biggest selling points were the people working here then. Jordan was one of the most attentive and friendly head managers. Jaime was the event manager, but he made the events worthwhile. After the previous management company lost Jordan they soon decided to get rid of Jaime (and the events!). This left a sore taste in the mouths of those who knew them and enjoyed the events. The place can’t be in a better location, close to everything and close to access points to everywhere. For anyone not afraid of a longer trek, even Powell’s and Providence Park are a walk away. Otherwise bikes, bus lines, and the streetcar get you wherever with the stress of driving or parking. You even qualify for Trimet discounts living here (ask me how). The management has changed hands since I've been here. And so have too many of the employees. The jury is out though. Even though everyone has been decent, the current staff is finally top notch again. I’ve mostly worked with Christy, but all of the front office are wonderful. Kind, caring, respectful, diligent, knowledgeable, patient, all of the things that are close to impossible to teach or fake. I hope this place realizes the value of continuity and quality; tenants value familiarity and relationships. The less visible staff has also always been wonderful: the team that cleans, the rooftop gardener, and the maintenance crew. Let it be known that theft is a risk you incur. Not Goatblocks fault. Not even cameras will prevent thieves, especially those after expensive bikes. I have stored my less expensive (though nice enough; $500+) bike with a ulock in the bike garage for 7 years and zero problems. I can’t say the same for an expensive e-bike that I foolishly trusted would be safe in that same bike garage. I had multiple locks and chains on it, but the thieves outwitted me and sawed off the rack. This was before the cameras and the more frequent security presence. The amenities are sweet, the location is amazing, the responsiveness is great, but it’s the people who make this place great above just decent. If you understand and enjoy Portland and apartment living, the Goatblocks can’t be beat in my opinion.

Moved in about a month ago and I love it… The neighborhood is quiet, my dog is happy, i love the wood finishes on everything. The community garden is so nice to have. Best place i’ve lived so far, in my whole life.
