Apartments for Rent in Gresham, Oregon

Gresham is the fourth-largest city in Oregon, sitting at the eastern edge of the Portland metro. Rents are lower than inner Portland, and you're still connected to the rest of the metro by MAX and I-84. The Rockwood neighborhood has seen real investment in new housing and transit — it's one of the most practical places to rent in the area.

459 Rock Apartments is at 459 SE 192nd Ave in Rockwood — a 44-unit mid-rise built in 2020 with finishes you won't find in most Gresham apartments. The building features elevator access, secure gated entry with security cameras, and a 4-minute walk to the Rockwood/E 188th Ave MAX Blue Line station — giving you a direct 40-minute ride to Portland City Center with no transfers.
