About The Alexander
Built in 1966, The Alexander seamlessly combines modern updates with a hint of retro charm in its renovated apartments. Each apartment home in this garden-style property has an individual entry and offers plush carpeting or Luxury Vinyl Tile flooring, energy-efficient windows, and contemporary wood blinds. The kitchens are outfitted with sleek black appliances, vintage maple cabinetry, and boast inviting dining nooks, many of which are enhanced by stylish 1960’s inspired room dividers. There are a limited number of off-street parking spaces for residents, and additional amenities such as laundry facilities and bicycle storage are conveniently available on-site.
The historic North Tabor neighborhood is just four miles from downtown Portland, offering a quiet solace from the hustle and bustle of the city while still being conveniently located near all the action! Make no mistake though, there are still plenty of incredible food and shopping options nearby. Start your morning at Stark Street Station for coffee and breakfast and for lunch enjoy some Oaxacan fare at Tierra Del Sol. Meet your friends for dinner at Tabor Tavern or Bui Natural Tofu, and for those that never skip dessert, make the short trip to The Pie Spot! Just up and over the “hill” past Mount Tabor you will find a plethora of spots to explore in the Montavilla neighborhood as well! To bring a touch of nature indoors, visit Portland Nursery for a selection of indoor plants, herbs, vegetables, and more or visit Wink Vintage for some awesome vintage finds. For groceries, QFC is conveniently located just a short walk away, along with Fred Meyer, several bodegas, and a seasonal farmer’s market in Montavilla all nearby.
For those who love the outdoors, you'll be just a short walk from two of the city's most beloved parks: Laurelhurst and Mt. Tabor! Laurelhurst Park features lush green lawns, walking and running trails, a duck pond, picnic spots, an off-leash dog park, a playground, and basketball and tennis courts. If you're into hiking and scenic views, Mt. Tabor Park is ideal, offering numerous trails and panoramic vistas perfect for photography. For a bit of indoor fun, enjoy a movie at the vintage Laurelhurst Theater, the Academy Theater, or browse the collection at Movie Madness, a nearby independent video rental store.
You’ll be able to accomplish some errands on foot with a Walk Score of 69 and Bike Score of 64 out of 100. From this location it will be easy for you to connect to thoroughfares like 60th Avenue, Burnside Street, 82nd Avenue, and Cesar Chavez. Plus, I-84 and I-205 are both nearby as well and can easily connect to you other parts of the city and beyond. The Alexander is just a thirteen-minute jaunt from the MAX Blue Line, the MAX Green Line and the MAX Red Line at the NE 60th Ave MAX Station stop. You’ll also be close to hotly desired neighborhoods like Montavilla, Buckman, and Hollywood!
