One bedroom, one bath, and a whole lot less to manage. This low-maintenance condo makes downtown living feel easy, whether your schedule is packed, your weekends are spontaneous, or your ideal evening involves doing absolutely nothing at all. The layout is comfortable, functional, and easy to settle into, while the private balcony gives you a built-in excuse to step outside for fresh air, coffee, or a quick reset. And then there’s the location, which frankly does not slack. Portland State is nearby, along with six parks within roughly a third of a mile, including the Waterfront for concerts, events, and premium people-watching. The Portland Farmers Market is close enough to tempt you into becoming a weekend regular, and with cafés, boutiques, and plenty of dining options nearby, your “just stepping out for a minute” plans may get a little ambitious. Keller Auditorium is also close by, making a weeknight show feel less like effort and more like a good decision. The HOA keeps things refreshingly simple by covering sewer, water, and trash, and the extras pull their weight too: pool, sauna, spa, secured parking, and secured storage. In other words, less time spent managing the basics and more time enjoying where you live. Downtown convenience, with just the right amount of charm and none of the unnecessary fuss.

Harrison East Condominiums, located between SW Harrison St and SW Market St, is a residential and urban Portland neighborhood with mid-century condo towers and tree-lined campus edges. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates around SW 6th Ave & SW Harrison St, where PSU foot traffic meets coffee counters, bike racks, and low-key lunch spots. Community pillars include Portland Farmers Market at PSU, the Portland Art Museum, and Keller Auditorium. Architecture leans modernist high-rise living with pockets of brick institutional buildings. South Park Blocks add a long green promenade for walks and reading breaks. MAX and streetcar stops stitch the area into downtown without changing its calm, lived-in cadence.

RX
D
Central Residential zone
The RX zone is a high density multi-dwelling zone that allows the greatest intensity of development scale in the residential zones. The zone is applied within Portland's most intensely urban areas, specifically the Central City and the Gateway Regional Center. Allowed housing development is characterized by large buildings with a very high percentage of building coverage. The major types of new housing development will be mid-rise and high-rise multi-dwelling structures, often with allowed retail, institutional, or other service oriented uses. Development is intended to be pedestrianoriented, with buildings that contribute to an urban environment with a strong street edge of buildings located close to sidewalks. The Design overlay zone is applied to this zone.
