    The Location:
    Located in the heart of Portland’s vibrant Alberta Arts District, this historic duplex puts you right where you want to be. Alberta Street is known for its creative energy, colorful murals, live music, and some of the city’s best restaurants, cafés, pubs, and independent boutiques.
    Step outside and walk to everything — locally roasted coffee, globally inspired cuisine, craft breweries, art galleries, and unique shops filled with handmade goods, vintage finds, and one-of-a-kind fashion.

    You’re just:
    15 minutes from Portland International Airport
    10 minutes from downtown Portland
    One block from a major bus line

    It’s the location travelers hope for when booking a Portland stay.

    The Space:
    High Gear is the upper-level unit of this thoughtfully restored duplex and offers 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms across two spacious levels.
    Main Level:
    Two queen bedrooms
    One bunk room (double lower / twin upper)
    Full bathroom with walk-in shower
    Open living, dining, and kitchen area perfect for gathering

    Upper Level:
    Fourth queen bedroom
    Loft area with futon and skylight
    Beautiful large bathroom

    The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need — from coffee grinder and blender to microwave and cookware — making it easy to prepare anything from a simple breakfast to a full dinner enjoyed around the large wood dining table.

    Outdoor Living:
    The shared side yard features:
    Exterior ping-pong table
    Picnic table
    Propane BBQ
    Shaded seating area beneath maple tree

    On sunny Portland days, it’s the perfect place to dine outdoors or let kids play freely.

    A Shift Vacation Rentals Perk:
    When you stay with Shift, you’ll enjoy exclusive discounts from our wonderful neighborhood partners, including Frock Boutique, Tin Shed, Mimosa Studios, Crafty Wonderland, and more.
    Eat, drink, and shop your way down Alberta — all just a stroll away, and all at a discount.

    Traveling with a Larger Group?
    High Gear can be rented together with Low Gear, the 3-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom garden-level unit below, to accommodate larger gatherings — perfect for reunions, wedding groups, retreats, or business stays.

    Need even more space? We also offer two additional rentals in the chic Mississippi District, just five minutes away.

    Newly remodeled using sustainable and locally sourced materials, High Gear blends historic charm with modern comfort. We’re confident it will be one of the best stays you’ll experience in Portland.
