Chaucer Court is at 1019 SW 10th Ave in Southwest Portland, and it’s made for independent adults who are 55 or older. The building has been standing since the 1920s, and it’s now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Back in 2011, it went through a full renovation, but the update didn’t erase the past. Original touches like terra-cotta lanterns and a stained-glass window are still there, just paired now with newer, modern features. The community has been up and running for 15 years, so it’s well past its early days.

Residents can choose from studio or one-bedroom apartments, each between 445 and 510 square feet. But what really sets this place apart is how walkable it is. Chaucer Court has a Walk Score of 100, the highest a location can get. That means daily errands don’t call for a car at all. Downtown Portland is about 0.4 miles away, the Pearl District is just next door, and public transit puts places like the Portland Art Museum, the Oregon Historical Society, and the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall within easy reach, no driving needed.

On top of that, residents have access to transportation services and options for fitness and recreation. None of it is dressed up to sound bigger than it is. This is simply a historic building in one of Portland’s best-connected neighborhoods, made for people who want their independence without giving up quick access to city life. All together, Chaucer Court comes down to its location: walkable, close to transit, and part of a piece of Portland’s preserved history.
