There are 3 reasons why you'll want to stay in The Pearl. Location, location, location. Unfortunately, there are no hotels in the Pearl District. Our luxury condo is located in the heart of The Pearl next to Jamison Park and directly on the street car line. The silent street car stops across the street and will efficiently take you wherever you’d like to go. You’ll find countless eateries within a few blocks in all directions as The Pearl is home to many of Portland’s best restaurants. There’s Italian, Japanese, Chinese, French and classic Pacific Northwest cuisine pretty much outside your door. We’ve got menus available for most in the condo along with reviews. Portland Monthly magazine’s “Best Picks” selected many of our favorites right here in our neighborhood. It's no accident that many of the descriptions in the other listings make mention that they are "near" The Pearl. It is the hottest place to be in Portland.
If you’d rather go out for coffee than make some fresh in-house with our deluxe grinder/brewer, we’ve got Starbucks across the street and Sip N Kranz across the path out the rear exit. If it’s dessert you crave, within a block or two is home made ice cream at Cool Moon or if you’d prefer gelato, it’s down the street at Via Delizia or a brief streetcar ride to Mio Gelato, with drinkable chocolate and other chocolate extravaganza’s at Sweet Masterpiece.
No stay in Portland is complete without a visit to Powells, the largest book store in the U.S. Just a 6 minute walk or hop on the street car for 3 stops.
The Pearl has evolved to be a boutique and shopping paradise. There’s Patagonia and REI for the hardcore outdoor enthusiast along with boutiques, antique shops, galleries and specialty stores too numerous to mention.
The street car can take you directly to the Cultural district, about a 10 minute ride, where you’ll find the Portland Museum, concert halls, movie theaters and Portland State University.
If you haven’t heard about NW 23rd Street – you’ll want to check out that area as well. On a nice day, it's a delightful walk as it’s only 13 blocks away but you’ll want to return on the street car given all the packages you’ll be carrying. Before the Pearl evolved, it was THE shopping street in town. With an ambiance similar to Manhattan's Greenwich Village, this boutique enclave is scattered with unique shops, restaurants and cafes, with larger national stores moving in as well. You’ll find Willliam Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Renovation Hardware and Smith and Hawkin to name a few.
A trip to The City of Roses wouldn't be complete without a visit to the Rose Gardens, the oldest public rose gardens in the U.S. And don't forget the Japanese Gardens, the Portland Zoo or the spectacular park system that Portland has to offer. There are over 5,000 acres with 30 miles of trails in Forest Park alone, promising a hike worthy of many fitness levels. If you're someone who prefers to view sporting events, we've got world class stadiums at our beautiful Rose Quarter, just on the other side of the Broadway Bridge.
It's easy to see how the Pearl has evolved to become the place to be when you're in Portland. If you're fortunate enough to be visiting any time from spring through fall, our farmers markets are a must. Our favorite is the Farmer's Market at Portland State University which is open Saturdays April-Dec from 9-2. Just hop on the street car and you'll be there in a few minutes. Don't forget to bring along a canvas sack to carry home your treasures. We've got a few in the guest closet for you to borrow for all your shopping needs. Please use and enjoy, compliments of Luxury in the Pearl, a Bisphenol-A free water bottle when you're out and about. Portland is a pioneer in the green movement so you'll find many eco-friendly products throughout the condo.
For those individuals wanting even more personalized services, we have arranged for custom services to be offered, at additional cost. Below are just a few of the services available:
1. Home Massage
2. Eco Wine Tour
3. Individualized Tea Immersion
If there is a specific custom service you would want, please let us know and we will try and arrange it for you.
This is a Luxury rental with a 1 week minimum for $2,000 a week and an 8th night free. Unfortunately, we have a requirement, by our condo association, that only allows us to rent for a minimum of 1 week - there are no exceptions. Reduced rates are available for stays longer than one week. This is not your standard rental property. It has been set up specifically for those individuals looking for a much higher quality living experience while away from home.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2008
We are both clinical psychologists and entrepreneurs. We believe strongly in being of service to others and giving back to our communities and to the planet. We are part city and part country people. We live in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area where we enjoy living amongst the mesmerizing natural beauty that this area has to offer, but we also love the dynamism, food, culture and easy accessibility of city life. We are blessed to have regular access to both.
Why the Owner Chose Portland
We had been lifelong east coasters prior to moving to the Pacific Northwest 5 years ago. We had a pied-a-terre in Manhattan that we used regularly to take advantage of our love of the greatest city in the world. When we first moved here, we couldn't imagine not having regular access to our place in Manhattan. Then we discovered Portland, fell in love with it and moved our pied-a-terre from Manhattan to Portland. This Pacific Northwest city is delightfully walkable, clean, eco-friendly and home to the most friendly people we have ever experienced. This dynamic and vibrant city has some of the most remarkable local fresh cuisine of any city, many of which are Zagat rated and within walking distance of the condo. A short drive brings you to the famous Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area where you can enjoy recreating amongst the second largest river in the country, the spectacular Cascade mountains and breathtaking waterfalls. Now, we can't imagine having our pied-a-terre any place else.
The Unique Benefits of this Condominium
We love being in the heart of The Pearl where there's endless stimulation and creative opportunities. We love being able to walk to just about everything or hop on the street car without worrying about parking. The hiking is fabulous, be it in nearby Forrest Park, or the esplanade which allows for a a walk along the river from one end of Portland to the other. The museums, the theater, the galleries, the shops and boutiques, it's one of the most clean and manageable cities in the country, unlike anywhere else we've ever visited. Until you experience Portland for yourself, it's hard to truly appreciate all it has to offer. And if you are looking for some adventures outside the city, there is a world of options, many within just 1 hr of Portland. There is unlimited and magnificent hiking throughout the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. There is world class windsurfing and kiteboarding in Hood River, one of the top ten rated places to live, work and recreate in the country. There is premier skiing on Mt. Hood. There is mountain biking, kayaking, long boarding etc. There is one cautionary note - after spending some time here, you might just want to relocate. We've made every effort to create a wonderful, luxurious retreat. Each detail has been carefully considered to provided the best amenities that you've ever enjoyed while staying away from home.
