Key Housing, a provider of corporate housing and furnished short-term rentals, has expanded its services to Portland, Oregon, with a featured February listing focused on corporate housing options. The company, which previously operated primarily in California, selected the Eddyline at Bridgeport property for its strategic location near major employers and downtown Portland.
Bob Lee, President of Key Housing, stated that Oregon has been a target market for expansion, noting that business travelers increasingly seek furnished apartments that provide a "home away from home" experience rather than traditional hotel accommodations. The Eddyline at Bridgeport property was chosen specifically for its ability to deliver this experience to corporate clients.
The property's location at 18049 SW Lower Boones Ferry Road offers proximity to Bridgeport Village and major Portland employers, including technology companies that characterize the region's business landscape. Portland's economic diversity is reflected in its top employers, which include Intel, Nike, Fred Meyer, US Bank, and Portland General Electric, creating consistent demand for temporary housing solutions for business travelers across multiple industries.
Unlike extended-stay hotels, Eddyline at Bridgeport offers furnished one- and two-bedroom apartments with full kitchens, in-unit laundry facilities, walk-in closets, and spacious living areas. These amenities address common limitations of hotel stays for business travelers on extended assignments, particularly those who may bring family members or seek more residential living experiences during their temporary relocation.
The expansion into Portland represents Key Housing's recognition of the city's growing importance as a business destination with technology sector growth comparable to larger markets like Silicon Valley, Orange County, and Seattle. Portland's combination of business opportunities and outdoor recreational options makes it particularly attractive to companies requiring temporary housing for employees on assignment.
For those seeking corporate housing options in Portland, Key Housing maintains a dedicated portal at https://www.keyhousing.com/corporate-housing-city/portland/ where additional listings can be viewed.

This expansion reflects broader trends in corporate travel and temporary relocation, where companies increasingly seek housing solutions that balance cost-effectiveness with quality of life for employees on extended assignments. The furnished apartment model addresses growing demand for alternatives to traditional extended-stay hotels, particularly in markets with strong technology and business sectors like Portland.
Key Housing's entry into the Portland market introduces additional competition in the corporate housing sector, potentially influencing pricing and service standards for temporary housing solutions in the region. For businesses with employees traveling to Portland for training, project assignments, or temporary relocations, this expansion provides another option for securing comfortable, residential-style accommodations that can enhance employee satisfaction and productivity during extended stays.
