Ritz-Carlton has Portland's highest HOA fees

• For reference, one Ritz-Carlton resident pays $2,467 a month in HOA fees for a two-bedroom condo, while another shells out $3,724 for a three-bedroom unit.

Reality check: Those fees alone are considerably more than the average rent for similarly sized homes in the city.

• Meanwhile, the median monthly HOA fee in Oregon in 2025 was $111, according to Realtor.com.

Yes, but: Portland's Ritz-Carlton has the lowest HOA fees among the brand's residences nationwide, per the O. Residents at its Waikiki Beach property pay $2.75 per square foot.

Between the lines: Aside from usual building maintenance and security, Ritz-Carlton residents' HOA fees give them access to amenities like round-the-clock concierge services, an indoor pool with skyline views, a fitness center and even a golf simulator.

• Those perks, particularly the convenience, make the steep fee worth it, residents and real estate agents told the O.

The bottom line: Let's be honest, ordering Bellpine for room service and booking a massage at the spa without ever leaving the building seems pretty nice.
