At College Housing Northwest (CHNW) that mission drives every decision we make and every project we pursue. As a not-for-profit organization, we provide housing
and services for post-secondary students in downtown Portland and surrounding areas.



What we really do is provide convenient, subsidized student housing at below-market rental rates. Our properties are clean and comfortable, with controlled key fob access and a wide range of support services – from free campus shuttles to counseling referrals to financial guidance. All our buildings have on-site resident ambassadors and council representatives, plus student-directed activities, events, forums, services and resources.



At CHNW, we offer more than just a safe and affordable place to live; we create dynamic living and learning environments that help students to achieve their goals – whether that means academic brilliance or personal growth (or a combination of the two). Our staff members are also engaged in a process of professional achievement, personal empowerment and daily student support.

Located conveniently between Portland and Gresham, the neighborhood setting creates the ideal environment for studying as The 601 provides easy access to both Portland Community College and Mt. Hood Community College to name just a few. With three shopping centers and five parks within three miles, there’s no need to travel far to feel right at home. Our spacious, light-filled apartment homes offer cozy personal space, while our common areas provide ample opportunity to foster connection and a sense of community.
