The Carmelita is a grand turn of the century brick building built in 1911 and shows off original artisan woodwork and ornamental details throughout the building. With its luxurious and spacious halls and stairs, 12' vaulted ceilings, and large apartment homes with incredible light, a 97 walk score, and a 92 transit score - The Carmelita is truly a beautiful place to call home. Many of our apartment homes have spectacular views of downtown and Portland's west side. Portland State University and the expansive Park Blocks with Summer Farmers Markets are only steps away. Escape the city life by walking to Washington Park and enjoying all the outdoor activities it offers.
