Most of the law students live within three miles of the school. Others choose to live in one of several quaint neighborhoods or surrounding suburbs.

Rental Listing & Apartment Finder Websites:

We are not able to specifically recommend or endorse any of these websites or companies - they are listed simply as resources. We would appreciate feedback, particularly if you have difficulties.

If you use an apartment locator service, it is best to contact one after you arrive or just before. Services will mail or fax you names of landlords, addresses, and descriptions of the housing units, and the prices. These services typically handle large commercially owned and operated complexes and some private rentals.

You can also go to the websites of property management companies in Portland (such as www.mainlander.com or www.inter-west.com, www.capmng.com, or rent.apmportland.com to see what availabilities they have.
