    "This is one of the best areas of Portland. Easy 2 minutes to beautiful Higgins Beach and Prouts Neck, yet only 7 minutes to the Old Port, Airport or Mall. So convenient, yet beautiful and spacious lots make this area of Pleasant Hill seem like Estate lots. So much room for privacy, children, yet nestled in a beautiful neighborhood of upscale and well cared for homes."
