I live just up the road from Mall 205. I have good news and bad news. Good News: The out-parcels at Mall 205 are fine. They also have an okay Home Depot (with a mall entrance...LOL), a nice Bed Bath & Beyond, and the biggest Target store in the state of Oregon. Bad News: The interior of the mall is essentially a dead mall. Only a few shops are left open and only a couple of restaurants. What used to be a smaller but busy mall when I was in my 20s and early 30s has turned into one long, dark corridor of mostly empty stores. Sad really. Conclusions: If you want to make a trip to Target, the Home Depot, or one of the out-parcels, this is an okay place to shop. If you are looking for a place to look at novelty stores like the old days, forget it. Its really depressing inside. Save yourself some time and just head down to Clackamas.

What once was a great place from the days of my youth (I know hard to believe, but seriously it was), is now... ah hell it just needs to be torn down. I really dont know how it stays like this. All it is, is Target at one end. And Home Depot at the other with Bed Bath & Beyond, the DMV office, 24hr fitness and...uhh...oh yeah a Famous Footware and a couple of other useless things in between. Theres even a Providence hospice care office in there. YES, a HOSPICE care office...how pathetically depressing is that!? And also ironic because elderly people come in during the early hours and "walk laps" passing by that office. Its just a dead mall on life support. Me and my friend call it..."The Mall of Shame".

Its a mall whose anchor stores are Target and Home Depot. The inside is pretty sad. Most of the retail spaces are empty inside. A Bed, Bath and Beyond, Famous Footwear, and some other shop are about all youll find. That, and a recruiting office for the military. I call it a "necessity mall". We go there for Target and Home Depot. Cautionary tale: despirate times make people despirate. Theft is high, here. Dont leave anything valuable visable in your car. My wife had her purse stolen here in the Home Depot parking lot. Police informed us this malls parking lot was a thiefs paradise. No security. So, be smart.

This used to be a great mall but now the stores shut their interior doors too often. Heck, 24 Hour Fitness permantly sealed themselves off from the mall so you cant run errands or grab a bite after the gym. Just now I went to Target only to find the interior entrance shut so I walked clear down to Home Depot but their doors are locked too, so long walk back to car just to drive to the other side of the mall. No wonder this mall is almost dead. You hate customers.

Home Depot anchors one end and Target the other end of this L shaped small indoor shopping mall with McDonalds, a manicure and pedicure place, shoe store, and DMV office that is always full and busy as can be. Easy access to I-205. There are a plethora of other businesses, restaurants, fuel, bars taverns, credit unions, banks, etc. and even 2 nude dancing clubs all within a space that is no bigger than an overflow lot at the mall of the Americas.

I like going to the Target here because it has more variety than most. Its 2 story, so they have the space. Theres also an Olive Garden for afterwards. Pedestrians (especially wheelchair users) BEWARE getting around is VERY difficult in some places. The sidewalk comes to an abrupt end several inches above the street. If not for some helpful strangers, I dont know what Id have done. Wheelchair rating: 1 star - very bad! Gluten-free rating: 3 stars

There arent really any attractions here. Target, Home Depot, and the DMV is pretty much the highlight of the mall. There are several vacancies. In the parking lot there is Red Robin and Olive Garden, and a few other places nearby where you can get things, but it is not the location to go if you want to window shop and explore new shops. There is not good lighting inside and the mall could use a remodel inside.

It has Home Depot a Target and few other interesting stores, but it had a fair amount of empty stalls last I saw. I would be very happy if it caught in as the "Next great new place" for local stores to expand to, but... I have no connections as yet to try to transform this place. Maybe they are charging too much in order to stay in business. Any help on this conspiracy to improve is welcome.

Not much of a mall for shopping anymore. Home Depot, Target, Bed,Bath and Beyond are the box stores attached. A few other places such as shoes, phone sales, a bike shop, a gym, and a deli and pizza place for food. A number of State offices occupy what were once stores. Surrounding the main building are other shops and eateries. Many older folks use the place for walking activity.

It is in a convenient location for me. The parking lot is large and easy to find a place. I like the Target there, it is bigger than most and usually has a ton of checkers so no long waits in line. Also there is lots of food places, gas, US Bank (and others), a liquor store and many other places all within a few blocks so I can get everything done at once.

The mall itself is easy to get in and out of. Seriously in need of more stores. And the biggest problem is Target locking the doors that leads to the mall. Targets security team is too incompetent to handle more than one entrance. So if you want to go to the mall you have to go out the front entrance and walk all the way to the far end of the mall .

Sad mall. Im sure it was booming in the 80s but is full of empty store now. Target is huge and worth the visit- its on two levels with a shopping cart escalator. There is also a kiosk vendor in the mall with interesting little toys. There are no rest rooms in the mall, but there is one in the Target.

Theres a gyro place and a perpetually closed magic shop and pretty much nothing else. If youre a fan of medicore Greek food and not buying magic trick kits then this is the place for you. This "mall" has been a ghost town since I was a kid. Tear it down and put up some affordable housing already.

Could use more business. I rely on the Bicycle shop close by. Nice nail salon. Home Depot, Target, DMV, Shoe Outlet, Hair salon & favorite restaurants Olive Garden, Red Robin for fun noisy family lunch or dinner. McMinnamins my favorite acroos the way from Mall 205. More to see in the area.

You could hardly call this a mall anymore. There are not many stores left in the inside and none of them are worth making the trip. This used to be a decent mall but its part of a dying breed. I only go there for Target, the gym and home depot. All of which are accessible from the outside.

A nice set of stores that youd usually have to travel out to the suburbs to get to. Always crowded, but you can still get in and out without too much delay. Not really a fan of the parking lot layout, but its probably to make it difficult to speed through; I just find it like a maze.
