During my recent search for a one-bedroom apartment, I was thoroughly impressed with the experience. The neighborhood was fantastic, with a friendly and helpful staff who made the process effortless. The highlight, undoubtedly, was the breathtaking view of Portland and its skyline from the apartment. The management staff's professionalism and friendliness further added to the appeal, and the apartments themselves were impeccably clean.I wholeheartedly recommend these apartments to anyone looking to live in the Portland area, as they offer a perfect blend of location, service, and cleanliness for prospective residents.

I am a vendor providing exterior cleaning services to the Griffis South Waterfront apartments. Jorge, the maintenance supervisor, is extremely attentive, fast to respond, and committed to upkeep and improvements in the building. He is also friendly and easy to work with. I highly recommend this apartment building. It is very well run, and Jorge puts obvious effort into keeping up with the building's needs.

As a vendor I have had a pleasant experience providing my services to the Griffis apartments. The management staff is very friendly and professional. Jorge Sebatian, the services manager, is a great person with a high level of knowledge of his work the Griffins complex is an excellent place to live in highly recommended.

I was here short term, however, loved the location and how dog friendly the environment was. Great staff and easy onboarding and application process. Special thanks to Emily to make the whole process super easy and clear with communication.

This is a great place to live. The staff are attentive and the neighborhood is wonderful. I love my apartment and the view is incredible. My only concern is safety and security. Our buildings garage door has been broken since I moved in. Car theft, vandalism and broken windows happen on a daily basis as well as bike theft. I don't feel as safe as I should at this price point for an apartment. I am hearing from other residents in the neighborhood that it is a problem in other buildings in S. Waterfront as well and businesses are suffering from crime here too. Seems to be a Portland wide issue. They definitely need to fix the garage door here since they advertise the security of the building as a selling point.

Nice building, but horribly managed. Garage door does not work for weeks, if not months, at a time. Not once, but multiple times over the past few years. Paying $200/mo for a "secure" parking space, yet cars are regularly broken in to or stolen because the door is always open. I've had a bike stolen & my car broken in to multiple times. Came home last night to see several cars with windows broken out. Again, this has been going on for years. Mostly they say nothing about the issue, but after a particularly bad night like last night, an e-mail will go out apologizing that it has happened, yet completely shirking responsibility. It's always either a vendor or supply chain issue. Did I mention this has been going on for years?? Of course, they can't control crime, but MUCH more could be done to mitigate the very obvious issue that is allowing it to continue so rampantly. At some point, admit the door is a lemon & replace it or hire security to watch it 24 hrs. Unacceptable. This is not the only issue, just one of the worst. (i.e. inadequate package locker space, meaning packages are often left out to be stolen, elevators have also been down for weeks). The maintenance staff is great - friendly & responsive, but if an issue arises where you need the leasing/management team, God help you. I've had responses ranging from none, to apathy, to rude/borderline hostile. I noticed that they often respond to bad reviews feigning concern, but don't let that fool you. That is for the sole benefit of you, the reader of this review who may be considering living here, to make you think that they are caring & responsive. They are not.

UPDATE: BEWARE!!!!11/24/23THE SECURITY GARAGE DOOR IS STILL BROKEN? the door is still up, allowing anyone access to personal property, tenants exposed to danger, personal body harm. Tenants are paying good money for the security that living in a "secured building promotes. This place continues to miss the mark. THIS IS NOT A SAFE PLACE TO LIVEYou're not safe in this place. The number of breakins over the last couple if years should warrant this apt to increase security, invest in better security or something that will ensure their tenants feel safe. They are slow to replace faulty garage doors, inviting every type of thief to have their way with our personal items. They are slow to ensure tenants have reliable theft deterrent. It's not worth the money they require to live in an unsafe environmental.

The reviews about Megan's incompetence are spot on. I scheduled a tour. I called ahead ahead about parking. I am a wheel chair user and mentioned this to her 3-4 times. Her exact words were: "There is plenty of street parking, if you have trouble finding a spot call us." To a normal person this means we will help you. To Megan this must mean: "I will give you an excuse as to why there is nothing I can do so you can come back if you find a spot." To be fair, it is not her fault there was no street parking available. What is her fault is the city shutdown parking on half the blocks around the building from Nov 1 to up to November 23rd and she failed to tell me this. Her excuse: "Well the city never told us." What, do you you not have eyes? Do you not pay attention to your neighborhood? Last, she tried to tell me 8 feet of parallel parking space was a parking spot. For a Smart car maybe, but even then I USE A FRIGGIN Wheelchair. Get real...... I'm glad I drive an EV because if I had the wasted the gas to come tour your place I would have been 10 times as annoyed.Is touring your place a privilege? Would it be a privilege to live there that I should thank my lucky stars to have the privilege of paying my hard earned money to you? I will never know because Megan completely wasted my time and I will go to the many other places that actually want a long term resident and want to earn my business. Megan obviously has zero proactiveness in her and I feel sorry for anyone that has to deal with her. I've lived in buildings where all management does is make excuses and I will not do that again. If anyone other than Megan at Griffis is reading this, Megan should be replaced. The horrible reviews about her are real. You are losing business because of this truly awful employee who has no business working at a small apartment complex let alone a high-rise like this one.

We recently put in a maintenance request because the water pressure from our kitchen faucet was getting very weak. Max, one of the maintenance staff, promptly visited us and replaced the faucet. It works beautifully now. Thank you Max!
