  We lived here for a year. Management is actively unhelpful but the apartments themselves are decent (although the walls are quite thin). If this is what you can afford you could do a lot worse.

  I've lived here for 2.5 years and the best I can say is that it's ok. It was nice when I moved in, but has noticeably gone downhill. It needs a little love and care to get it back on track. Good: Great location, very walkable, close to bus and max lines. They host community building events once per month or so. It's historically been quiet, though recently a neighbor moved across the hall from me with a dog that barks all the time. But that's a new problem, so we'll say it's quiet. OK: Sort of affordable, though I struggle to pay rent on a 1-bedroom apartment with a 70K salary. But it's cheaper than other apartments in the area. There are a few amenities: a small workout room, community room, and laundry room. It's fewer amenities than new buildings with comparable rent. Elevators break down somewhat frequently, but are usually fixed within a day. As a woman living alone, I feel pretty safe, but there are a few male neighbors that give me bad vibes and as you'll read below, people break in (once I came home at 2am to find a houseless person milling about in the lobby). I've never felt the need to call the police or anything for safety issues. Bad: As others have noted, people break into the building and garage, mostly to dig through the trash. Cars parked on the street get broken into frequently. It's also quite dirty inside, as others have noted, and it's not a matter of standards, as the manager says in their response to other reviews. The dog area behind the building is DISGUSTING beyond belief. Tenants are really inconsiderate when it comes to cleaning up after their pets, which is disappointing. I complained about it once and the staff claimed that they pick up the poop every day, but that's a blatant lie. The staff are dishonest and/or just don't know what's going on. Front desk staff are generally unhelpful and/or provide bad information, so I don't bother trying to ask them for help anymore. I have felt that they dismiss me because I'm a woman, which is super frustrating. It used to be alot better. When I moved in the place was spotless and the staff were great, but things have changed alot since then.

  So far so good. Haven’t had any bed bugs yet but the apt complex has been very informative via email anytime some are found in the building. We were aware of the construction before moving in and knew what we were getting into so no surprises there. We enjoy the emails set out by Celio keeping us up to date on what’s going on in the building. So far communication has been great. I see a lot of complaints on here that I guess we haven’t experienced. Excited to keep living here.

  I'm living in Celio Apartments for 2 years now and the area is quite, Veronica -who works in the Front Desk- she is very nice and kind. The view from the roof is amazing and the rent is more expensive that we expected (and increase every year) but it's a good place to live in Portland.
