Our Take
This neighborhood offers good schools, a short commute to downtown Portland, and decent walkability, but the home price to income ratio is high and the cost of living can squeeze your budget. It’s worth a closer look if you can stretch your finances, but you’ll want to weigh the price against your income and lifestyle needs.
