One of the absolute worst things about living here is being on the first floor. The laundry room has no hours, yet the laundry machines are in the basement which echoes across the entire ground floor, making it really hard to sleep at a decent hour.... and by "decent", I mean sometime before 1 am. There's no signage anywhere reminding tenants and guests about quiet hours (10 pm), and so it's a daily occurence to hear VERY LOUD TALKING, groups of inconsiderate people RUNNING UP THE STAIRS at all hours of the day and night, neighbors moving furniture until 2 or 3 am--- it's a lot. The noise is the #1 worst thing about this place. Now, I know what you're probably thinking: "duh! All old buildings are noisy!", but I'm here to tell you that this one takes first place at State for noise levels. In part, it's due to the big empty basement with 0 insulation between it and the first floor. There are plenty of products to apply to the subfloor which could mitigate this. It's cheap and lazy not to even try. Next, there's the big, heavy doors which need to be lubricated to keep them from making excess noise. Each time someone enters the building, loud creaking cracking clunking door. Each time they enter the stairwell, loud creaking cracking clunking door at bottom AND top of stairs. And again when they reach their apartment door. Then there's the placement of the stairwell: the worst. Seriously. It's central to the entire north half of the building. So effing noisy. This area is noisy even on the street due to endless "maintenance", which frequently causes precious parking spaces in front of the building to be closed off for whole days almost every week. Constant vehicle maneuvering noise, crazed homeless screams on Kearney at night, homeless hopping the side fences to rummage through the trash late at night--- some peace and quiet within the building would be really nice. It's a shame because the neighborhood is pretty cool.

Not sure if this was a different property years ago, but I have nothing but amazing things to say about this apartment complex. It’s such a cute, cozy, peaceful and vintage building with tons of character. The landlords AND the tenants have been nothing but incredibly kind toward me since I moved to the Portland area, oftentimes going out of their way to make sure I’m happy or to say hello. If I ever put in a maintenance request, they usually go above and beyond to kindly address it within a day, which is amazing! A spectacular area in Portland and a wonderful place to call home — I’d recommend Mayfair properties to anyone looking for an apartment! Not to mention, the operators of the property even decorate the property with holiday decorations — with the smallest details down to Halloween candy or Christmas lights. Check this place out!

A fantastic place to live! I only moved out because I needed a WFH space, otherwise I would still be living here. Management is quick to respond to maintenance requests and are incredibly reasonable when it comes to move-out inspection. I was not charged a cleaning fee or a painting fee after doing a quick clean and leaving drywall anchors in the wall during move-out. They do preventative maintenance on the boiler before winter so the rooms are always warm and cozy. They also salt the sidewalks and courtyards. Unlike corporate landlords, the people at The Worthington aren't trying to screw you out of every dollar you own and do want you to have a maintained apartment. Would recommend to family and friends.
