Pleased to exclusively represent the sale of 1659–1665 SE Rex Street, a five-unit apartment building located in the heart of Portland’s vibrant and highly sought-after Sellwood-Moreland neighborhood. This offering presents a rare opportunity to acquire an asset with very stable rental history, low-density, single story with a diverse unit mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom floorplans. The property has been professionally managed and well maintained, with recent capital upgrades including a new torch-down roof (2023), new vinyl windows, and updated kitchens and bathrooms in select units. With very stabilized rents and exceptionally low turnover, Rex Street represents a turnkey investment in one of the metro’s most consistently performing submarkets.The property sits on a prominent corner lot at SE Rex and SE Milwaukie Avenue, providing excellent visibility and immediate access to the very best of Sellwood. Originally incorporated as its own city in the late 1800s, Sellwood has maintained its small-town charm while evolving into one of Portland’s most connected and livable neighborhoods. The neighborhood offers a balanced blend of historic homes, modern infill, lush parks, and a true sense of community — attracting long-term residents and renters alike who value walkability, bikeability, safety, and access to both urban and natural amenities.Portland’s multifamily fundamentals continue to improve, with the metro vacancy rate declining to 5.6% in 2024, and average rent growth reaching 2.5%, a trend expected to accelerate into 2025. The broader Portland MSA is forecast to outpace national household and population growth rates, supported by a diverse employment base and high quality of life. In this context, Rex Street stands out as a low-maintenance, income-producing asset in an irreplaceable location, appealing to investors seeking long-term stability, appreciation, and consistent demand in a premier Portland submarket.

Venkat is a very good negotiator. He was quick to respond, when I had questions. He came to all the meetings with the seller and provided valuable inputs on inspections and mortgage options. Overall, I was impressed and would love to work with him again.

Venkat is very professional and has tremendous knowledge in the real estate industry. He was always available to discuss and made time to visit the construction site several times during the course. I was looking at a new construction and had to wait for the property to be built.

Muthu has good knowledge about the community and understands the needs of his customers. He helped us sell our house in record time and followed up with the buyer and the agent until the complete closure. We received multiple offers and Muthu negotiated well and helped us decide on the buyer.

— Praveen

Venkat is great to work with as realtor. He is very patient and listens to the requests of the buyer or seller and doesn’t push as t any point of time. He has a good understanding of the market situation and location for investments as well. All this comes from experience with him recently buying a home.
