Gladstone, Oregon is the location of the Pow-Wow Maple Tree, a gorgeous, twisted tree that is believed to have been the meeting site of several regional Indian tribes, including the Multnomahs and Clackamas, where they would make trade bargains, settle community disputes, and even hold weddings.

What's there to be so glad about anyway?

The City of Gladstone, which grew up right about where the Clackamas River joins the Willamette River (pronounced Will-AM-it), has a population of about 11,500 people, but it's surrounded by the 2.2 million people who live in the Portland Metro area, of which it is a part (get over it, Gladstone).

Move-in specials offer an enticing incentive to Gladstone apartment renters looking to save. However, it’s important to ask about any stipulations to the move-in specials. A free month’s rent may only apply to specific apartment floors or basic amenities instead of the apartment you really want.
Other move-in specials might include a lowered or no security deposit option. Keep in mind the lack of security deposit means you are responsible for damage when moving out.
No application fees are also popular move-in specials, which will immediately put more money back in your pocket.
Gladstone apartments are more likely to offer move-in specials during an off-season like winter when fewer people are moving. You may be able to negotiate your own special like free parking for a year in the paid garage.
