Garden Park Estates

Label: Rental
Label: Open
Innovative Housing, Inc. renovated and expanded the existing Garden Park Estates, creating and preserving 117 units for low-income households in Southeast Portland’s Powellhurst-Gilbert neighborhood.
Spring 2026

Garden Park Estates in outer Southeast Portland formerly consisted of 62 two-bedroom apartments and one three-bedroom house. By better utilizing the generous site, Innovative Housing, Inc. (IHI) added 54 units, for a total of 117 apartments ranging in size from studios to three-bedrooms. The new units have been developed as efficient, well-designed buildings with between nine and eighteen units each, most of them two-story townhouses. The existing units were substantially rehabilitated into comfortable, energy-efficient apartments. Garden Park’s newly configured site provides lower rent levels and a wider array of unit types than previously offered, including 25 permanent supportive housing (PSH) units for individuals exiting homelessness and additional family-sized units. A phased construction and relocation plan minimized the impact on existing residents. Building A was completed September 2024; Building B in December 2024; and Building C in March 2026.

Amenities include a children’s play area, on-site management offices, laundry room, community/resident services space, and an outdoor amphitheater performance space that will be used by IHI's youth arts program and available to members of the surrounding neighborhood. Garden Park Estates is near two bus lines (the #9 and #17) and three major grocery stores, along with other retail and services to meet the needs of residents. The expansive Powell Butte Nature Park is one mile away.
