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!
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!
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 😊
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.
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 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 :)
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
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 😂
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!!!
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.
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 :)
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! 🙂
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.
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!
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.
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!
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 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 😊💛
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
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 :)
Love watching you apartment hunting, looking for an apartment when I was moving for school since I didn't want to live in a dorm took me one day and I feel like I just got super lucky not looking forward to it after school because not sure where I will end up. Good luck can't wait to see where you end up. Did I hear you say nursing school?
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 😊
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!!
pin if you love your fans
Love you guys! What's everyone up to?? 💛

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 😍
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!
You and your dad warm my heart, y’all are adorable😊
😊 thank you
Your dad is so pure. 🥺
Lol I know... got to love Doug 💕
absolutely adore you and your content! apartment shopping in Oregon is always fun! ( coming from a fellow Oregonian!)
Thank you so much!! Love meeting other Oregonians!

Love this! So excited to see more of your apartment search, moving vlogs (!!!), and decor vids! :)

I stayed in the waterfront district when I went to Portland and I fell in love with that area.
I love that area too 😍
omg your apartment is going to be so pretty
I'm so excited to decorate!!
Your dad is super cool, super sporting and super cute! Love how he smiles towards the end of the video. You lucky girl!
Syazwani Musa I know I’m so thankful to have him in my life! 💗

wow good for you! Very good timing 😂
So exciting!!! Hope you can enjoy this journey just as much as normal! Love to see more of this process ❤️❤️
I hope so too! Thanks so much for watching and commenting! Hope you're doing well 💛

Kiara Madisen oh my lord I just followed you on insta today and I thought your TH-cam videos where aesthetically pleasing but your insta is perfect!!
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!
helloooo favorite TH-camr :)
also your spreadsheet was so satisfying
haha thank you! I have been working on it for so long lol 😂
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?
kiaraaa literally love it when you post!! Makes my day and makes me work out 100% better
That makes me so happy! Thanks so much for watching my videos and supporting me!
Honestly thank you! I appreciate the work you put it it’s like I’m listening to a friend and just enjoying it

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!
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 😂
im going to live at the Carson in about a year its SUPER nice!!
That's amazing! It's so beautiful!

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 😊
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!
Your dad is so adorable loll! And congrats on graduating, amazing accomplishment :)
Thank you so much!! Doug is the best apartment shopping buddy lol
Gonna say it again... we love Doug! Lol

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
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.. 😂
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!
Alexandra Matukonis omg yes!! A dad meetup would be so fun 😂👏🏻
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

Portland is my city you will love it !

Portland apartments are so cool!
There are so many new buildings so it's super fun to shop 😊
Love watching you apartment hunting, looking for an apartment when I was moving for school since I didn't want to live in a dorm took me one day and I feel like I just got super lucky not looking forward to it after school because not sure where I will end up. Good luck can't wait to see where you end up. Did I hear you say nursing school?
hehe you have good ears 😏 I am super excited to move :)
Kiara Madisen can’t wait to see more! So happy for whatever you do next!
Hi Kiara!! I've been wondering what Ipad you have and in what color? :)
I have the ipad air in rose gold 😊
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 😊
aaa so exciting, good luck!! :)
Thank you!! I'm really excited :)
I've wanted to live in Oregon for so long but I'm 16 and definitely not ready to live alone 😭
You have so much time to live out your dream!
I live in Portland!
Portlandia is the best ;)
