Company Description
We were founded as “Apartment Data Center” in 1969. Originally, our organization operated as a tenant referral service, matching apartment owners with renters. It also published “The Apartment Guide,” a free booklet for prospective renters. While Apartment Data Center earned revenue from landlords who acquired tenants through our service or advertised in The Apartment Guide, the biggest treasure of Apartment Data Center was the knowledge it mined about the needs, tendencies, behaviors and motivations of renters. Ultimately, we became one of the premiere property management companies in the Portland Metropolitan area.
Today, Milestone manages over 1,400 multi-family and single-family units from Southwest Washington to Salem, Oregon. Over 54 years after the founding of “Apartment Data Center,” we are still committed to understanding rental residents better than anyone else. We believe our emphasis on market data and leveraging state-of-the-art market surveys to keep our fingers on the pulse of the needs, desires, behaviors and motivations of our customers has been the secret to our longevity.
