Portland’s NW Neighborhoods Are Quickly Becoming the Most Exciting Areas in PDX!

Incredibly Fun Things to Do

To say that the Northwest neighborhoods are a vibrant area is a bit of an understatement. At any given time, Portlanders have their pick of marvelous parks, entertainment venues, and cultural events. Here are a few of the local faves:

Jamison Park

This park boasts a cool fountain, tidal pool, and outdoor art gallery.

McMenamin’s Crystal Ballroom

This historic venue, which is about five minutes from our nob hill apartments, showcases some of the biggest music acts as well as themed dance parties.

First Thursdays

On the first Thursday of every month, PDX-ers enjoy an awesome gallery walk featuring art exhibits, wine, and live music.

The Brody Theater

A mecca of improv comedy, The Brody Theater offers up a good time with shows, open mics, and classes.

Amazing Places to Eat, Drink and Shop

BridgePort Brewing

A Portland original, BridgePort crafts brews and pub bites with deliciously fresh and locally-sourced ingredients.

Powell’s City of Books

A major benefit of living in Northwest District/Nob Hill zone is being super close to world-famous Powell’s. With millions of new and used books in their inventory, it’s a bibliophile’s paradise.

Marrakesh

Marrakesh is not just about the exceptional Moroccan fare. It also delights diners with talented belly dancers.

Java Hound Coffee Bar

Java Hound welcomes both humans and canines alike with scrumptious coffee, tea, pastries, and puppuccinos (dog treats floating in goat’s milk).

Incredible Urban Innovations

Portland has done a brilliant job of keeping up with economic growth and an increase in population. One example of this is the Portland Streetcar. No doubt the overall public transportation system in PDX is terrific, but the Streetcar is uniquely inventive for several reasons:

It was the country’s first modern streetcar

It’s an award-winning system

It’s easily accessible and links multiple Portland districts (yes, including Pearl)

It’s a cinch to use for PDX-ers and out-of-towners alike

It ingeniously utilizes unused railyards

It serves as a model for other cities

One of the Top Luxury Apartments in Portland

The Residences

Our 1 Bedroom luxury apartments Portland and 2 Bedroom luxury apartments Portland are designed to be spacious and contemporary with a high-end aesthetic. Units include tall ceilings, large windows, wrap-around kitchens, quartz Carrara countertops, stainless steel appliances, porcelain enamel tubs and showers, plenty of closet space, and serene color palettes.

Amenities

We understand what matters to Portlanders. Every day, our residents benefit from amenities like bike storage and maintenance spaces, a pet washing station, in-building parking, concierge and package receptions services, reserved storage, and dry-cleaning pick-up and drop-off lockers.

The Building

In order to rise above other luxury apartments close to Nob Hill Portland, we knew we had to impeccably blend modernity and beauty with environmental consciousness. The result — a LEED-certified, highly efficient building with features such as a gorgeous dark-red brick exterior, Neoclassical bay projections, and a lobby with Statuary Carrara Marble and a 24K white gold Bisazza mosaic.

The Northwest District has certainly earned its spot as one of the top places to live in Portland. (It’s no wonder why it was named one of the coolest neighborhoods in the world.) We’re ecstatic that this dynamic community has allowed us to provide our residents with a living experience that is unmatched by any other luxury apartments in PDX. But, you don’t just have to take our word for it. Why not come check it all out for yourself?

Connect with us to find out more about living in 21 Astor’s incredible PDX apartments!

Marie Watt - Seneca Nation

ABOUT

Marie Watt ist eine interdisziplinäre Künstlerin, deren Arbeiten Textilien, Skulpturen, Drucke und ortsspezifische Installationen umfassen, die alle tief in der Zusammenarbeit mit der Gemeinschaft verwurzelt sind. Ihr interdisziplinäres Werk schöpft aus der Geschichte, der Biografie, dem Proto-Feminismus der Irokesen und den Lehren der Eingeborenen; darin erforscht sie die Überschneidung von Geschichte, Gemeinschaft und Geschichtenerzählen. Durch kollaborative Aktionen regt sie generations- und disziplinübergreifende Gespräche an, die einen Blickwinkel und ein Gespräch für das Verständnis der Verbundenheit mit dem Ort, den Mitmenschen und dem Universum schaffen können. Watt hat einen MFA in Malerei und Druckgrafik von der Yale University und verfügt über Abschlüsse der Willamette University und des Institute of American Indian Arts. Im Jahr 2016 wurde ihr die Ehrendoktorwürde der Willamette University verliehen. Sie war Stipendiatin an der Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture und am Vermont Studio Center und erhielt zahlreiche Stipendien und Auszeichnungen von Institutionen wie Anonymous Was a Woman, der Joan Mitchell Foundation, der Harpo Foundation und der Ford Family Foundation. Ihre Arbeiten sind in Museumssammlungen in den gesamten Vereinigten Staaten zu finden, und sie wird von PDX Contemporary Art in Portland, Oregon, der Catharine Clark Gallery in San Francisco, Kalifornien, und der Marc Straus Gallery in New York City, New York, vertreten. Wenn man TURTLE ISLAND sagt, selbst wenn man nicht weiß, was es bedeutet, bestätigt es eine wichtige Geschichte - es verändert die Art und Weise, wie wir gehen, wandern, schwimmen und Unterstände bauen. Die Anerkennung eines Ortsnamens, der den kolonialen Namen vorausgeht, ist ein Schritt zur Anerkennung des historischen Traumas und des Vermächtnisses von Ausbeutung und Vertreibung."

PROJECT

Marie Watts SHIFT Project, Chords to Other Chords ist eine Serie von drei ortsbezogenen Neonskulpturen, die darauf abzielen, Geschichten und Gespräche über Land, Haushalterschaft und Ort zu verstärken. Der Schriftzug "TURTLE ISLAND" wird in Licht "genäht" und in öffentlichen Einrichtungen in und um die Heimat von Watts Vorfahren in New York platziert. In Zusammenarbeit mit dem federführenden Forge Project finden Veranstaltungen mit Dichtern, Künstlern, Wissenschaftlern und anderen Vordenkern statt, die sich mit den Themen von Turtle Island auseinandersetzen.

PARTNERORGANISATION

Forge Project ist eine von Eingeborenen geführte Organisation, deren Aufgabe es ist, die Führungsrolle der Eingeborenen in Kunst und Kultur zu pflegen und zu fördern. Forge befindet sich auf dem angestammten Land der Moh-He-Con-Nuck und ist in zwei Gebäuden untergebracht, die von dem bekannten Künstler und Aktivisten Ai Weiwei auf einem 38 Hektar großen Campus im Mahicannituck-Tal (Hudson River) entworfen wurden. Das Forge-Projekt ist ein Modell für die kulturelle Selbstbestimmung und Führungsrolle der Ureinwohner, das traditionelles und zeitgenössisches Wissen und Praktiken miteinander verbindet, um Gemeinschaft, öffentliche Bildung und kollektives Handeln zu fördern.

COLLAGE ON VIEW

Scrapbook

Joe Rudko at PDX Contemporary Art in Portland, Oregon, USA through 2 March 2024. Over the last decade, Joe Rudko has dissected found photography to create drawings, collages, and sculptures. As he's worked, piles of scraps have accumulated from thousands of different images—some found at shops, purchased on eBay, or received from friends and family. Each of these works follow a framework and logic built on chance, intuition, and resourcefulness. Read More
