Renting a place in Portland can be a bit of a blood sport—so let us here at Portland Monthly help you. A couple of times a month, we compile a quick list of digs for rent in the city right now, at a variety of price points. This time, all our picks are in Irvington, a Northeast neighborhood with leafy, tree-lined streets and gorgeous historic homes. We’re on the lookout for non-cookie-cutter spaces—think antique detailing to useful amenities—without breaking the bank. This week: homes with elegant vintage interior design, outdoor patios and porches, fireplaces, and beautifully remodeled kitchens with stainless steel appliances.

This vintage single-family home has lots of character, with two full baths and a large kitchen with plenty of counterspace and modern appliances. Outside, the front porch is great for lazy Sunday-morning coffee; a back patio affords more privacy and room for grilling. The elegant interior has a regal quality to it, with hardwood floors and a grand entrance that opens up to a bright living room and a formal dining room. Ideal for a family or group of friends looking to rent a home together.

The bathroom includes a clawfoot tub for added vintage charm, along with new tiled flooring. Creatives looking for extra space to store equipment or have their own little workplace will appreciate the unfinished attic. Bonus feature: there’s a private backyard with grape arbor, and landscaping is included in rent.
