Portland West Hills Searches
-
West Hills Search From downtown look west and you'll see the
West Hills. The hills extend along a ridge that covers both the northwest
and southwest (south and north of Burnside Street). Most homes
in the West Hills start at $400,000 and can go well over a $1,000,000.
This is because many offer views of the city and mountains and you're
just minutes from downtown.

Portland Southwest Searches
-
Southwest Portland Search If you asked a hundred or so Southwest
Portland residents why they chose to live on the "West Side" instead
of the "East Side," most would give you three reasons: schools, preference
for hilly terrain, and it all seems "close in." You may also hear things
like "safe neighborhoods" and "parks." West Burnside Street is the boundary
on the north and the Willamette River is the east boundary. The south
boundary from east to west is Lake Oswego and Tigard. The city of Beaverton
is the west boundary.
-
Homes Southwest Portland offers homes
of all styles to include ranch, traditional, cottage, condos, and
townhomes. It would be a challenge to find a home under $240,000.

Portland Southeast Searches
-
Southeast Search Cross over the Willamette River from
downtown and you're in the Southeast's Central Eastside Industrial District,
home to the industrial plants that provide thousands of jobs for Portlanders.
Streets are in a traditional block/grid pattern on level land, but there
are exceptions to this in a few neighborhoods such as Eastmoreland.
Southeast Portland is a "mixed" bag. Close in neighborhoods offer
charm. The further out you go, the scene changes to strip malls
and 3-4 cars in the driveway.
