About the area

Why rent in Portland

Most of Portland's houses are bungalows, four-squares, or small craftsmans built between 1905 and 1935 — a stretch when the streetcar lines pushed east and these neighborhoods filled in fast. The good ones have deep covered front porches, original fir floors, and built-in cabinets in the dining room. The very good ones still have leaded-glass windows.

We rent the kind of house you can settle into. Two- and three-bedroom bungalows with fenced backyards, a back porch, often a fruit tree someone planted decades ago and that still produces. Most have detached garages that work as a workshop or storage. They are old houses, and we maintain them like old houses — replacing what wears out, leaving the character that matters.

Houses in our portfolio run from about $2,650 for a Mt. Tabor 2-bedroom up to about $3,450 for an Alberta 3-bedroom. Most have a small yard and accept pets. Everything available right now is on the properties page.

Common questions

Renting in Portland

Are these houses or duplex units?

On this page, standalone single-family houses. Our duplex and fourplex units are on the apartments page.

How long are leases?

Standard 12-month, with 18 and 24-month options at a small discount. Houses tend to attract longer-term residents — most stay two or three years.

Do houses accept pets?

Most do. Cedar charges a flat $30/month pet rent regardless of how many pets, with no breed or weight limits. Pet rules are on each listing.

Are yards maintained by the resident?

Mowing and basic upkeep is the resident's. Tree work, irrigation repair, and major garden projects are ours. Garden beds in the existing yard are yours to use.

Is there off-street parking?

Most houses have a driveway or detached garage. Listings note off-street parking specifically — assume on-street if it isn't mentioned.
