Portland Featured
Welcome to your Portland
Portland is a very diverse city that sports a great metropolitan drive while maintaining a distinct community focus. It is classically a "connoisseur" hotbed — no matter what you are into, whether it be coffee, wine, hiking, art, or technology, you will find a thriving community centered around that interest.
Portland's different communities (95 recognized) all contribute to its Northwest allure and charm. People that move to Portland fall in love, and well, stay. Its wide array of activities within the city limits as well as its close proximity to ocean beaches, mountain peaks and the lush Columbia Gorge make it a year round delight.
There are many different styles of homes in Portland, including classic Victorians, "Old PDX" foursquares, welcoming Craftsmans, cozy bungalows, and hip mid-century moderns. Different neighborhoods typically showcase a certain combination of home styles — depending on the average year of construction in that area. See our blog post about Portland's home styles for more detailed information.
