To say that this is the best condo on the market is not hyperbole. Why? Because it is only a condo by default: ground level convenience (huge) and neighborhood feel. A newer small project has lees risk for assessment. Modern lines and thoughtful design define this Lair Hill residence, where architecture isn’t just aesthetic, it shapes how the home lives. Set within the award-winning Lair development, this condo delivers a rare experience: pull directly into your own attached garage and walk up into the home. This offers the privacy and feel of a townhome with the simplicity of condo living. Inside, clean sightlines, expansive windows, and hardwood floors create a light-filled, cohesive space. The open-concept main level is anchored by a two-sided gas fireplace. The living and dining areas flow together in a way that feels both functional and refined. Upstairs, the primary suite is bright and well-proportioned, with a spacious bath and a sense of separation from the main living areas. Quietly positioned on a dead-end street, yet moments from the South Waterfront, downtown Portland, OHSU, and PSU, this location puts you immediately into the rhythm of the city while maintaining a calm, tucked-away feel. For the outdoor enthusiast, the oversized garage is a genuine asset, with ample room to store bikes, skis, SUPs, or whatever gear fuels your adventures. For the buyers who value clean architecture, smart function, and a home that lives differently than the typical condo, this is worth a closer look.
The RM2 zone is a medium-scale multi-dwelling zone that is generally applied in and around a variety of centers and corridors that are well-served by transit. Allowed housing is characterized by buildings of up to three or four stories with a higher percentage of building coverage than in the RM1 zone, while still providing opportunities for landscaping and outdoor spaces that integrate with residential neighborhood characteristics. The major types of new housing development will be a diverse range of multi-dwelling structures and other compact housing that contribute to the intended urban scale of centers and corridors, while providing transitions in scale and characteristics to lower-scale residential neighborhoods.
