Partially surrounded by Willamette River and Columbia River, St. Johns is a neighborhood of Portland, Oregon with an abundance of local businesses in the area. Just nine miles from downtown Portland, 11 miles from the Portland International Airport, and 14 miles from neighboring Vancouver, Washington, St. Johns has close proximity to many wonderful amenities. Industrial warehouses, residential areas, lakes, and surrounding wetlands make up this unique Portland neighborhood.
St. Johns’ greatest asset is the Smith and Bybee Wetlands Natural Area, surrounding Smith and Bybee Lakes. One of the region’s best-kept secrets and one of America’s largest urban wetlands, this natural area is a staple to the St. Johns community. Walk the Interlaces Trail or travel by boat to explore this park where you may find beavers, river otters, deer, turtles, and bald eagles. During April through June, kayak or canoe the lakes to explore the gorgeous wetlands. Great rental opportunities await you in St.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Property Ratings at The Melrose Apartments
Apartment had a major mold issue and charges $50 anytime you leave anything on your porch. I had packages delivered to my apartment and they charged me $50 for them being left on my front porch for delivery. They then waived the fee after I explained it was a delivery. Then at the end of my lease gave me a $550 fine for the 11 months I was there for items on the porch which I had to pay or be sent to collections. Other residents were constantly parking in my parking spot, and homeless were in the dumpster almost daily. It is insane to pay what they charge for an apartment in this area on top of very expensive utilities, with these rules, with mold, and shared laundry machines. Something needs to change. Do not rent here.
Property Manager at The Melrose Apartments, Responded To This Review
We're truly sorry to hear about your experience. We take issues like mold very seriously and strive to maintain a clean and comfortable environment for all residents. We also understand your concerns about the porch policy and parking situation. Residents are able to tow anyone that parks in their parking spot that is unauthorized. We do also have patio rules in place to keep a clean community that is outlined in the application and lease. Your feedback is valuable and will be taken into consideration as we continuously work to improve our services and resident experience. Thank you for bringing these matters to our attention.
The staff is very nice and easy to talk to. Pool is cleaned regularly, and average noise during summertime. They are still working on renovations at the time this posted, but the finished product is well worth the costs.
