- Dorian is a study in contrasts: perched amid vintage shopfronts between E Burnside & longtime bike corridor SE Ankeny Street, chic common areas with quirky Parisian flare greet residents and visitors to these ultra-modern flats, many with views of the Fremont Bridge and Convention Center glass spire towers. Each bright, clean space shines with contemporary condo-grade finishes and sophisticated modern design. Apartments have washers & dryers as well as individually-controlled air-conditioning and heating units with wide slat blinds and many second floor units have built-in window seats.

Leasing has begun on one- and two-bedroom units starting at $1,450. Luxe polished concrete floors and oversized windows highlight chef's kitchens with Carrera marble countertops, upgraded designer cabinetry, stainless steel appliances including dishwashers and built-in microwaves, and extra deep undermount stainless steel sinks. Penthouse-level units feature gas fireplaces, Bosch appliances including 5-burner gas ranges, and one complimentary off-street parking spot. Up to two pets are welcome here, without weight limits.

Buckman is the quintessential Portland neighborhood: stately Craftsmans & grand old Victorians cozy up to eclectic local businesses with bikes and pedestrians aplenty. This is a very walkable and extremely bikeable area with bustling East Burnside taking commuters East to West and steps from the corner of 24th & Meatballs with its varying culinary delights. This rapidly-growing area contains myriad entertainment options from upscale dining and boutique shopping on NE 28th to long-standing friendly neighborhood joints. Whole Foods Market and the Hollywood West Fred Meyer are very close-by and Trader Joe's is a short drive or bus ride away. With its close proximity to downtown Portland and availability of public transit, not to mention a near-perfect bike score of 99, life with or without a car is effortless at Dorian.
