4662 W Powell Blvd #248, Gresham, OR 97030

"It is very convenient to walk to stores transit lines, close to bars, and fast food, close to centennial schools "

"My boyfriend lived (I in Va) near 181st & Brooklyn Ct. For a couple of years, I took a monthly flight for my week long visit, gave birth to our daughter 15 min. away in a Portland hospital and loved the drive to PDX (airport) was 10 min. We found parks to take her to, though traffic was undesirable on streets leading to/fro 181st, never experienced congestion on 181st. Chain dining options are found near "downtown" Gresham, which also hosts a Farmer's Market offering seasonal fruits, vegetables as well as a variety of "homemade" items that, no doubt, find it's way into the home of shoppers. The quaint downtown is only a couple blocks wide and long it offers the non-chain dining options boast tempting recipes/meals sure to please any palate. A walk to Safeway and Walgreens on weather cooperative days is a convenience I regret not having, especially with the competitive Walmart Marketplace across the street. A couple of blocks you'll find a bus going north (w/a stop for those looking for MAX) or south to Powell Blvd. With only one or two exceptions, the neighborhood harmony differs from most found in subdivisions these days, with daily family walks and children playing OUTSIDE until dusk is the norm when weather allows. A few miles west, my grandmother called Brooklyn Ct home for 30 years. Widowed, she recently moved to an assisted living center. Though transient (5-20 years due to floor plans appealing to first-time homebuyers) the neighbors in her little cul-de-sac were generally warm but not as tight-knit as the one off of 181st. In between Powell and Division, navigating to/from Brooklyn Court is a breeze, has a diversity of floor plans, with neighborhoods suitable for all stages of life. Regardless of whether you're looking to rent or buy, It is definitely worth looking into if your budget allows."
