Most desireable neighborhood in Portland proper?

Best post in the history of S2

I tend to agree (without being such a peehole about it, and calling people that choose to live in a big city Lemmings).

I like (and prefer) my expansive crib in West Linn.

 

Probably Dunthorpe, but I like Tomahawk Is.

 

When I last worked in Portland, I lived on River St in West Linn. I have think though, that getting to work downtown for there these days would be difficult.
Back when I did it, it was about 20 - 22 minutes to work on 6th and Madison.

 

I hoped someone would get that

 

The Sellwood area by Waverly country club. That is close to the river, a few miles walk on the springwater corridor to downtown but the lots are huge with as much space as any suburb.

 

East Siders lol

You know how I can tell that my area is better? I hardly ever see cops. When I go over onto the east side, I see a shit ton of cops. You don't live in a great part of town when people are getting shot just around the corner.

Just my .02

 

You might be right. Observant at least.

 

My wife commutes to downtown (granted, we're between 10th St. Exit and Stafford, so that already cuts time off from where you lived). It usually takes her about 25-30 minutes.

 

You could take it a step further. You know you're in the safe 'burbs of Lake O and West Linn because the only time the po-po be flashing their lights is to stop someone for speeding or not using their turn signal timely enough.

 

Don't forget the tickets for not wearing a seat belt. We wouldn't want to let those criminals get away with it.

 

FORREST HEIGHTS, BITCHES.

:MARIS61:

If I lived there though, I'd probably live in the Pearl. Eastside is a little too gritty, Burbs are a little too boring. Pearl gives you best total access to it all, at a price I guess.

 

They are. But I don't really care to go out, I'm very much a home-body and always have been. So I bought a house that has everything I need and then some, but is still within walking distance to a very small, but trendy area of drinks and food. And the house has enough that it's a draw for most of my friends to come visit.

 

Yeah, if you have a family and shit, Burbs totally make sense. Lots of room for all your shit, you can play basketball in the front yard, nice BBQs, etc.

 

Don't forget the pool table, Fams. Always gotta be room for that.

 

It's just safer imo. The walkability sucks ass, and there isn't much to do around here, but I can drive if I want to have fun.

 

Are you in Portland or the burbs?

I have the area of Willamette within walking distance for me. It's a cool little area with some good restaurants and drinks, walking distance to parks, and I've got river access. Good enough for me. I don't really door much "bar-hopping".

 

if you don't have kids, you don't really need to "be safer". you're just being boring when you don't need to be.

 

GOTTA HAVE A BONUS AND A GREAT ROOM YO!

 

You know where I used to see a lot of cops, Lake Oswego. Boy aren't anecdotes accurate?
