i do enjoy the calm demeaner when you guys mentioned some of those neighborhoods that have really declined , i love the honesty of your guys videos, a few other real estate content makers not so much.thanks guys looking forward to future videos
There was at least an attempt to point this out. The other dynamics is that the condo market has been really cool during an otherwise very hot market 2020-2022.
It was hard watching this video since Paul kept saying “you know.” No, I don’t know. He should really go to Toastmasters or someplace to get rid of this filler statement.
@@livinginoregon I don't know what you mean - I-84 has always and still does run east to west. You need to get your facts straight - also about Mt. Tabor.
*South Tabor:* Wooded, urban oasis. Good neighbors, quiet. Yes, it's on a Caldera, but who cares. *Creston-Kennelworth:* Lower-income folks. Not bad, not great. Just full of rentals. *Foster-Powell:* prior to the homeless crisis, was always a reasonably safe neighborhood that drew a more artsy bohemian crowd. Lots of food carts nearby. *Argay Terrace:* Lots of later-mid-century homes. Middle class baby boomer neighborhoods. Quiet, reasonably safe(ish). Slightly hilly. Meh, not bad for NE. *Sullivan's Gulch:* Wealthy LGBT-types. If you like PRIDE, this one should float your boat. *Laurelhurst:* Wealthy Baby boomers who consistently vote blue, and then wonder why taxes are so high and complain about the homeless. *Parkrose:* Poor folks, gangs, bad teenagers.... *Cully:* Dangerous, dirty, steer clear. *Beaumont-Wilshire:* Very quiet older neighborhood along Fremont St. Very walkable neighborhoods, nice little restaurants. No hills, a little pricey. *Woodlawn:* Gangs. Looks nice during the day. Turns into Frankenstein's monster at night. There are a few safe pockets within, but generally you want to stay indoors after 7pm. Don’t stand near your windows. *Alberta:* Gentrification, upper-middle class whites who work from home, drink fancy un-coffee from a Mason jar, post "In This House We Believe" signs in their front yards, and fight for Women's "Reproductive Rights." *Unthank Park:* Good, hard-working people and also peculiar people. Just stay west of MLK jr Blvd, and you'll be okay. *Brooklyn:* Not the best looking, but safe and close to shopping and restaurants. *Mississippi:* Gentrification. Amazing restaurants. *King:* Homies, thugs, mental illness, pimped-out Cadillacs, poor people, entitlement. *Hosford-Abernethy:* Fantastic blend of residential and commercial. Near shopping, and lots of really cool restaurants along Division St. *Woodstock:* Kitchy, earthy folks with money, but not too much money. Safe, great restaurants, not too much in the way of tents and broken down RV's. *Reed:* Lots of educated and well-traveled folk. You need to be a millionaire... Actually, make that *multi-* millionaire. *Mt. Scott-Arleta:* Dirty, lots of tents, too close to Lents. *Lents:* Poor folks. Dirty, scuzzy, watch where you step (pretend you live in a dog park). *West Mt. Scott:* Hilly, wooded, beautiful neighborhoods, safe, quiet, upper-middle class. Most construction up there was begun in the mid-1970's. *SW Portland Cultural District:* Historically hipster/bohemian, but most of those have moved to SE. Close to PSU, lots of retired college profs, close to Saturday Market and Director Park. Close to all the action. Tents and bums along SW 5th and 6th. If you're thinking of a high-rise condo, be prepared for bi-yearly riots for this or that reason. *Alphabet District / Nob Hill:* Wealthy artsy types who make it clear they don't want to talk to you. Lots of boutiques and fancy shopping. *Portland Heights:* Old money.
Thank you so much for your comment.. I'm moving to Portland in literally 1 week from Hawaii. I'm still searching for an apartment to move into and your post really helps with my search.. I got an air bnb for a month to give me time to secure an apartment in a decently safe location, as much possible, but yet.. not be a long and far drive away from my job.
