Portland is an awesome place to live and despite any glitches in the sub prime market, Portland's values should continue to maintain in the short term and rise appreciably in the long term. Because of urban boundary legislation, the lack of build able space in the inner city, and its high visibility as a great American city, Portland is always going to be, a deeply sought after place to be.
Part of the draw is that Portland has maintained a small-town feel in an urban atmosphere. There is a vibrant restaurant and cultural scene, accessible public transportation – light rail, street cars and buses – and a population enthusiastic about the outdoors and the environment. Mount hood is just and hour east of the city, and the Pacific Ocean lies an hour and a half west. Although the Portland region is home to high-tech companies, like Intel and Hewlett-Packard, and Nike, individuals often move to Portland for reasons other than work.
Inner city Portland is one of the most desirable places to live in the US. Close to the mountains and ocean, and with a thriving artistic center. Portland has become a magnet for the American Urban Experience.
