    "The Pearl is struggling a bit. Lots of trash, inconsistent camping, tons of poop not getting picked up."

    "It’s across the street from the park blocks but the neighborhood is plagued with homeless camps and human piss & feces that smells and you have to clean your dogs feet before going back into your home… and leave your shoes outside your door "

    "I recently visited my daughter at The Sutton and was blown away by the stunning architecture and breathtaking views. The management team is incredibly kind and welcoming, always ensuring residents feel at home. The Sutton hosts a variety of engaging community events, fostering a strong sense of camaraderie among residents. This community truly exemplifies luxury living and is the perfect place to call Home!

    "The walking and shopping can’t be beat. Friendly people live on this well maintained park block. Summertime we see parades originate from the park blocks and marathoners run by. In autumn the park blocks host the world class Art in the Park."

And easy to meet friends. "

    "The Pearl District is an area of Portland, Oregon, formerly occupied by warehouses, light industry and railroad classification yards and now noted for its art galleries, upscale businesses and residences. The area has been undergoing significant urban renewal since the mid-1980s when it was reclassified as mixed use from industrial,[3] including the arrival of artists, the removal of a viaduct and construction of the Portland Streetcar. It now mostly consists of high-rise condominiums and warehouse-to-loft conversions. It’s great "
