What's it like to live in Five Oaks?

Nike employees discover ideal work-life balance in Five Oaks, where garden apartments and townhomes offer significantly more space than Portland options without sacrificing easy campus access.

Unlike Portland's vintage apartments, these newer buildings typically include in-unit laundry, functioning HVAC systems, and parking – practical amenities that dramatically improve daily living.
