Having lived in California I was amazed that I could actually buy a house in the Portland area. I think where you are looking is great.........have you considered Overlook in northeast? Check out schoolmatters.com for comparisons on school districts you are considering. - Tue Mar 4 2008, 10:53
I grew up in New York and like any city there are many walkable neighborhoods. Portland is good about having restaurants and shopping nearby to most neighborhoods. Do you need to commute to work? That might be another consideration. Are you going to take public transportation or a car. I particularly like the northeast areas of alameda, irvington and hollywood as well as the southeast areas of westmoreland, belmont and hawthorne. For suburbs Lake Oswego is great but prices will be higher. Downtown Lake Oswego is walkable but you will spend more. The old part of West Linn, the Willamette area is walkable. Multnomah Village in southwest is walkable. There are many options and I personally feel very safe in Portland. But as in any city.......it is always a good idea to be aware of your surroundings. If you go to Portlandmaps.com they will give you crime statistics for any portland address. - Tue Mar 4 2008, 10:50
For a room to be considered a bedroom in must have a window and a closet. - Sun Mar 2 2008, 22:40
