I really admire how much time and effort you put into things you care about. I can't believe you even check which way the windows are facing. I have faith that your new apartment is going to be amazing!
It’s so crazy to have watched you since you were an AG doll channel and now you’re graduated and a future nurse!! I’m so glad everything’s working out for you, I’m so excited to see which apartment you choose!
This was a smart idea. I was just telling my little sister to do the same thing. She is looking, as am I, and we discussed that doing an area and price search then just taking the time to go look at what you can. Like you and your dad did here. Awesome! Good luck on your hunt.
You can always negotiate! Ask them the lowest price. With all this stuff going on they aren't going to fill all the units they were expecting, and therefore you have more persuasive power.
Lauren Harris this is true! Most places are offerings one or two months free instead of lowering the total rent price, but I have seen some reductions on apartments.com 😊
I am moving August 1 and I don’t get an incentive or rates reductions. I do get half price the rent in January, but that’s it. I wish they’d give reductions
so glad i came across this video bc im moving to northwest Portland next wknd for about 3 months!! im from New England area so im so excited for this lil change
I love apartment searches! Portland seems to have a lot of great complexes to live in, I would definitely watch a part 2! Always love new uploads from you :)
Definitely!! There are so many options and this one search really helped me reevaluate and find more that I wanted to explore! Lots of new buildings in Portland which is so nice 😍
I've lived in Portland for a few years now, but I moved into my new spot two weeks after the pandemic became a full blown quarantine deal. Apartments here are already so hard to find, but I literally emailed the place, viewed it, and got it within two days, haha. It's been a trip!
so wild, i literally just met up with my best friends to look for apartments! quite impressed with how expensive portland is though, like i've heard about it really put it into perspective haha
I know :/ so many people are moving here and there are a ton of new buildings so it is pretty expensive, the cost of living is much more reasonable so you do save in other areas 😊
lol @ the compass. If you know where the Willamette is then you'll be able to find West/East. Takes some time. Looks like you're only exploring the West side? East side is where it's at imo. Have you looked in the NW though? I first lived in the Lloyd District but am now in the Richmond neighborhood. Good luck!
I remember doing this. Back in 2008-2010. Wouldn't live in that place if you paid me now, so glad to be back in Cleveland. Will say I really enjoyed living in the ASA Lofts. That South Waterfront was a bust back in 2009.
Oh yes!!! This video made me so excited for the future decoration and home tour videos. How do you feel about graduating and entering the "real world"?
It's definitely a lot...I feel like the pressure is off a bit in a sense because no one is hiring right now and you have to be flexible, but I've been thinking about a lot of things lately and will announce my plans soon :)
Your video popped up on my recommended page, but my boyfriend actually works on the Fremont bridge, doing all the road work, that you showed at the first apartment building! We live in far NW Portland!
It's really random why I do...one day I just started as a joke and then it stuck! But he is my real dad and it's just like out family joke because my parent's names are Doug & Didi 😂
It's so cool to see a local town on TH-cam! Have you toured any apartments in person in Portland? When I was searching for an apartment last year in St. Johns, I thought 500sq ft would be plenty of space for me and my boyfriend. The layouts and pictures look so good online, then you actually see the space with your eyes and they're SO small. If you're living by yourself though, it would probably be ok! I wish rent prices were the same as the times when our parents were our ages haha
Ugh I know what I would give for cheaper rent, but still amazing amenities 😂 I am waiting for buildings to open again for tours, but most are closed due to the virus. I'm not in a crazy rush, so I'm doing my research now and hopefully by the time I narrow it down to my top apartments I can see them in person :)
So excited for your post-grad life! I found your videos as I was searching for UO information and ended up transferring there in 2017 for my junior year! Sco ducks!
Idk if it’s the same in your car, but for mine with the seats you usually have to be in park, but you set the seat where you want it and then hold the 1,2,or 3. Mine beeps so I’m assuming yours would too. Also yessss for portlanders!!!
I hope your staying safe girl i love you no homo tho , i was born in portlnad OR and i just watched the news and saw the down town was getting destroyed tore me apart , btw your so freaking pretty
My apartment now has a whole wall of windows, but the back part where the "bedroom" is, is super dark. The lounge end where the windows are, isn't actually super bright here during spring, winter or autumn/fall. It's only super nice in summertime.
Awesome video! Could you share the list you made with names, amenities etc! That list and this video could be my one stop solution to short listing apartments! 🙂
BROOOO I’m so excited for you!!!!!! That snazzy organized iPad spreadsheet is amazing 🙌🏻 I also have to apartment hunt during these times down in Long Beach, it’s so sad we can’t get real tours haha it’s like throwing darts in the dark and hoping you hit a good apartment 😅
this video got me feeling so nostalgic, we looked at all the same apartments in the NW area during our apartment hunt last month ☺️! Rivage and Kado were some of the apts that were also on the top of my list. Just wanted to share that some negative reviews I read on Q21 were regarding noise from surrounding units. Excited to see which one you'll end up with!
Careful on locked garages, it doesn't always mean your car is safe! A good friend lived downtown and had access to a locked garage but their car was still broken into! I'm talking about Portland, as well, so same people.
my family used to live in portland while I was away in college in new york, and you walking around these areas brought back so many memories! Love your vids x
You should look into Buckman area there’s a lot of restaurant’s , bars and cafés and young life all around. I heard during the month of October rent goes down.
I love apartment hunting/moving/decorating vlogs!!! Can't wait to see what apartment you choose! I already know your apartment is going to be so cute!!
Omg I loved this video!!! It’s so exciting getting to watch you look for new apartments and get ready for the next chapter of your life ❤️ this will be such a cute video to look back on when you decide on one to see what your first impressions were 💘
I know! I love the water aspect, the only thing is that it's so loud and there is a train right across the stress too...so we shall see, but some of those places are still on the list :)
this is such a fun video!!! i am considering purchasing a condo in toronto this fall & struggling to make a decision bc i cant physically tour anything. I should definitely try doing a drive around
yes! Exploring the area from the outside surprisingly helps so much! People have been really nice about sending over videos of the inside too! Best of luck 😊💛
tip!! if you're able to, ask the current residents their favorite and least favorite thing about living there. always helps getting the honest opinion of a resident versus a realtor!
Emilie Schumacher we were outside or in our car the whole time not near anyone at all, but when have gone inside stores and talked to others we wear our masks 😊
pin if you love your fans
Love you guys! What's everyone up to?? 💛
Kiara Madisen, I’m planting some seeds to make some beautiful flowers 🌸 in my backyard this week and reorganizing my room.😌

Omg thank you so much for always being the sweetest & following my journey from the very beginning! That is so cool 💕
This was a smart idea. I was just telling my little sister to do the same thing. She is looking, as am I, and we discussed that doing an area and price search then just taking the time to go look at what you can. Like you and your dad did here. Awesome! Good luck on your hunt.
You're not afraid of Portland rain, you're a brave person -)
That's because I'm a native Portlandian ;)
That’s cool 😎
You can always negotiate! Ask them the lowest price. With all this stuff going on they aren't going to fill all the units they were expecting, and therefore you have more persuasive power.

Syazwani Musa I know I’m so thankful to have him in my life! 💗
This was so helpful!! I’m thinking of moving to Portland from Cleveland, OH after law school and it really helped to see a little bit of the area!

haha thank you! I have been working on it for so long lol 😂
I've lived in Portland for a few years now, but I moved into my new spot two weeks after the pandemic became a full blown quarantine deal. Apartments here are already so hard to find, but I literally emailed the place, viewed it, and got it within two days, haha. It's been a trip!
wow good for you! Very good timing 😂
Aww. Your dad is precious.
so wild, i literally just met up with my best friends to look for apartments! quite impressed with how expensive portland is though, like i've heard about it really put it into perspective haha

I stayed in the waterfront district when I went to Portland and I fell in love with that area.
I love that area too 😍
I remember doing this. Back in 2008-2010. Wouldn't live in that place if you paid me now, so glad to be back in Cleveland. Will say I really enjoyed living in the ASA Lofts. That South Waterfront was a bust back in 2009.
who else loves Kiara!!!
Meeee
Aww thanks Skyler!

Oh yes!!! This video made me so excited for the future decoration and home tour videos. How do you feel about graduating and entering the "real world"?
It's definitely a lot...I feel like the pressure is off a bit in a sense because no one is hiring right now and you have to be flexible, but I've been thinking about a lot of things lately and will announce my plans soon :)
Omg! How exciting!!! Your getting a new apartment!!❤️
I know!! I so excited 😊
Your video popped up on my recommended page, but my boyfriend actually works on the Fremont bridge, doing all the road work, that you showed at the first apartment building! We live in far NW Portland!
That's awesome! The Fremont bridge is my favorite in bridge city ❤️
Maybe a dumb question, but why do call Doug, Doug? Is he your stepdad instead of your dad? Or do you just always called him that? 😊
.
It's really random why I do...one day I just started as a joke and then it stuck! But he is my real dad and it's just like out family joke because my parent's names are Doug & Didi 😂
Hello, could I get a link for the spreadsheet if you have a draft of it? I’m looking for apartments and this would be very helpful! Thank you
Literally same, thinking about moving out there later this year. can I get in on this spreadsheet too?
It's so cool to see a local town on TH-cam! Have you toured any apartments in person in Portland? When I was searching for an apartment last year in St. Johns, I thought 500sq ft would be plenty of space for me and my boyfriend.

I'm not in a crazy rush, so I'm doing my research now and hopefully by the time I narrow it down to my top apartments I can see them in person :)
i cant wait till you fully design your apartment and we can see the final result!!!
omg same! Let's just say I've been doing a ton of online shopping...
vancouver has a lot of great waterfront places that are very new. and are close to the bridge, so wont take long to get to PDX.
My mom just suggested that to me actually! Definitely an option!
I loved this video and i'd definitely watch a part two, I always like your videos!
Yay! Thank you! I will for sure be making a pt. 2 soon!
So excited for your post-grad life! I found your videos as I was searching for UO information and ended up transferring there in 2017 for my junior year! Sco ducks!
That's makes me so happy! Hope your experience at UO has been good so far!
Haha, Doug is such a sweet soul! Thanks for taking us apartment shopping with you :)
Aww I know I love him so much! Thanks for watching Kara!
Idk if it’s the same in your car, but for mine with the seats you usually have to be in park, but you set the seat where you want it and then hold the 1,2,or 3. Mine beeps so I’m assuming yours would too.
Also yessss for portlanders!!!
Omg thank you! We really have been meaning to do that...who knew it was so simple 😂💕
I hope your staying safe girl i love you no homo tho , i was born in portlnad OR and i just watched the news and saw the down town was getting destroyed tore me apart , btw your so freaking pretty
I know that broke my heart 😕 Thanks for your comment 💕
@@KiaraMadisen yeah 😔 your welcome🖤🔥
Loved this video! Apartment shopping and moving in vlogs are so fun to watch. Thanks for taking us with you.
Glad you enjoyed! More to come for sure :)
My apartment now has a whole wall of windows, but the back part where the "bedroom" is, is super dark. The lounge end where the windows are, isn't actually super bright here during spring, winter or autumn/fall. It's only super nice in summertime.
hmm really good to know! That's why it's so hard to know without touring!
This is making me miss Portland so bad! You gotta try the thai teas or thai coffee at the Saturday market. Delicious 😊😊
Michele Davidson oh that sounds right up my alley! I will for sure check that out 😊
Also, for sure do a move in and decorating your apartment vlog!! Those videos are some of my favorite to watch:)
Oh 100% you know I have been shopping these sales haha
Kiara Madisen Hahah omg so have I😂 I’m moving into my first apartment next year for my sophomore year of college!
Loved the video! And love living through you with apartment hunting hahaha

Check out the addy as well! It’s by q21 I haven’t been in there yet but looks super cute
Kaylie Pendleton oh I just added that to my list! Thanks for the tip!
I was going to watch one of your old videos and saw this, I love it!
Yay I posted just in time! Thanks so much for watching!
Your apartment is going to be super aesthetic! ❤
oh yes...I may have already started shopping for it haha
Awesome video! Could you share the list you made with names, amenities etc! That list and this video could be my one stop solution to short listing apartments! 🙂
Omg can’t wait to see what you find!!!
I know! So many places to still check out, but it's going to be fun to see which one is the chosen one.. 😂
BROOOO I’m so excited for you!!!!!! That snazzy organized iPad spreadsheet is amazing 🙌🏻 I also have to apartment hunt during these times down in Long Beach, it’s so sad we can’t get real tours haha it’s like throwing darts in the dark and hoping you hit a good apartment 😅
Oh I know it's so hard to not be there! I am so excited for you to get your first apartment! You're going to love it so so much 😍

I got excited and I'm not even moving out 😂
Well now you get to move with me! 👏🏼💕
Careful on locked garages, it doesn't always mean your car is safe! A good friend lived downtown and had access to a locked garage but their car was still broken into! I'm talking about Portland, as well, so same people.
Good tip!
Doug is literally the best. I feel like our dads would be bffs.... if you ever come up to Alaska haha! Love your vida girl!

my family used to live in portland while I was away in college in new york, and you walking around these areas brought back so many memories! Love your vids x
Aww that makes me so happy! Portland is such a special place!
You should look into Buckman area there’s a lot of restaurant’s , bars and cafés and young life all around. I heard during the month of October rent goes down.
That's really good to know! Thanks so so much for the tip!
anyone else just want to be kiara? she’s just so perfect ! i can not wait to see the finished apartment:)🤍
aww you're the sweetest! I can't wait to bring you guys along on this journey!

Thank you!! I'm really excited :)
I’m so excited for you to get an apartment and if it’s on the water it’ll be so much fun and pretty
I know! I love the water aspect, the only thing is that it's so loud and there is a train right across the stress too...so we shall see, but some of those places are still on the list :)
I really love it when your dad made an appearance for your video ! He is such a cool dad ! Keep it up doug 💙 (is that how u spell it?)
Yes it is! Doug is so funny in the videos...we love to capture his spirit 😂👏🏼
this is such a fun video!!! i am considering purchasing a condo in toronto this fall & struggling to make a decision bc i cant physically tour anything. I should definitely try doing a drive around
yes! Exploring the area from the outside surprisingly helps so much! People have been really nice about sending over videos of the inside too! Best of luck 😊💛
I bet you are the best organized and productive person 😅 thank u for making me productive
I try 😂 Keep working hard! ily
Portland is my city you will love it !
So excited!

That video will be coming up soon too! Thanks so much for watching!
I love how you edit your videos so much!!
Thank you so much!!
I love your videos Kiara! You seem so nice and fun!
Thank you so much!! That makes me so happy! Hope you're doing well!
tip!! if you're able to, ask the current residents their favorite and least favorite thing about living there. always helps getting the honest opinion of a resident versus a realtor!
Love that idea! We did ask a girl her experience at one building (from 6ft away of course) and it was super helpful!
Apartment / House videos are basically all I watch right now ! I'm waiting for part II.
Yay! Pt. 2 for sure coming soon :)
Quick question! Can I put "always early in watching Kiara's vlog" in my resume? An acquired skill of mine for years now 🤷🏽
I really think that you have earned that too. You can put me down for a reference ;)
@@KiaraMadisen DEFINITELY GONNA GET HIRED NOW. Yasss
Even if you aren’t going into the apartments, you should still wear masks and gloves when you’re out and about
Emilie Schumacher we were outside or in our car the whole time not near anyone at all, but when have gone inside stores and talked to others we wear our masks 😊
