Portland, Oregon

Situated 70 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean, Portland is the largest city between Seattle and San Francisco. Founded because of its excellent shipping location on the Willamette River, the town was literally named in a coin toss after Portland, Maine.

Early on, very progressive city planning was put into place and Portland has never suffered from the urban sprawl that affects so many cities.This is a city that has retained a uniqueness of character. It maintains historic architecture while cultivating dynamic contemporary growth. Tree-lined streets, Mount Hood in the background, a beautiful river and a genuinely friendly atmosphere make it one of the best places in the U.S. to live and work.

Down By The River

When starting the search for your Portland apartment, know that the city straddles the Willamette River. There are several bridges but traffic can be heavy during rush hour so be mindful of how long your commute might be. The city offers a real variety of neighborhoods and you will find high rises to small complexes to warehouse or home conversions. In the NW part of Portland, check out The Pearl area.

Largely converted warehouses, there are large loft spaces and an arty atmosphere. The SE area is more affordable and arty too. Check out the Hawthorne Boulevard area if you like the bohemian lifestyle. The NE area is lively with areas like Hollywood and Kerns. And then you'll find smaller areas like Multnomah Village which is very cool and has various types of housing.

Mountain Life

Getting to know Portland, you'll find it is very cultural with great museum and galleries. Movies are popular and seeing a movie in a theatre that serves alcoholic beverages is the norm rather than the exception. The NBA Trailblazers are the city's only pro sports team but personal sports are very popular.

With the closeness of Mt. Hood, skiing and snowboarding are very popular, and Portland has one of the most active bicycle racing scenes in the country. No matter where you Portland apartment is located, you'll quickly find outlets for your cultural or sporting interests.

Foodie Heaven

Portland has a burgeoning restaurant scene and aside from being name one of the most vegetarian friendly cities in the country, you'll find a variety of seafood, Italian and many other ethnic food places. McCormick and Schmick's is a homegrown chain, but don't be put off by its national expansion.

The four original restaurants are sprinkled out over the city and are all great seafood finds. Get romantic at the Portland City Grill or squeeze into Nicholas', the most popular Lebanese restaurant around. It's a foodie town and there will be something great near your new Portland apartment.

Microbreweries

At night, you'll want to check out a few of Portland's many micro-breweries. There are 28 of them, so visiting them all will take a little time. There's a huge music scene in Portland so nights out will be easy. Most pubs and bars offer local, underground or well known bands on weekends. Doug Fir Lounge is like an L.A. club - slick and fun - or check out the Crystal Ballroom for bigger names and a huge dance floor.
