Living near the water
Living on Portland waterfront property is fabulously enjoyable way to live. In some locations it’s a little pricier than the alternative, of course, but when you’re ready to move up to a higher standard of living, living on the water is the way to go. Portland has a beautiful skyline, with the city straddling the majestic Willamette River.
Portland waterfront homes can be found in all price ranges, of course. While you might find Portland waterfront homes as low as $100,000, they can also go as high as $2.3 million for the high end neighborhoods.
Living in Portland’s suburbs
Portland has some great suburbs that are perfect for families who don’t want to be in the thick of the city, but who want easy access to the beauty that Portland offers. Some of Portland’s suburbs includes Lake Oswego, West Linn, Beaverton, Hillsboro, the Pearl District, and Tigard. If you’re looking for Portland homes in these areas, you’ll do well to contact an experienced Portland agent who can help you out.
Living in Portland’s downtown
Living in the downtown area of Portland is the perfect fit for those drawn to the fast paced urban lifestyle. If your job is downtown, or you just love to be in the thick of the action with easy access to shops, restaurants, and entertainment destinations, living downtown may be right up your alley.
You’ll find Portland condos and lofts on the market that are simply to die for, and reasonably prices, we might add. You can get a Portland loft overlooking Portland’s downtown for as little as $169,000 at the time of this writing. That’s an amazing deal, and you can walk, bike, or take the world-class Portland public transportation system to work.
