The cities highrise condos enjoy many beautiful vistas of Mt. Hood and Mt. St. Helens as well as the many bridges that span the Willamette & Columbia rivers. The tallest building in the City is the Wells Fargo Center built in 1972(1), but that doesn’t mean you can’t find a residential building with a view. Currently, the tallest all-residential building is the John Ross Tower built in 2007, which is part of the newly developed South Waterfront project and located just south of Downtown.

If you are looking for the more urban experience, then the neighborhoods you will want to check out are Downtown Portland and the Pearl District. These areas enjoy high walk-ability with lots of restaurants, cafes, and art galleries to tour. There are also a number of farmers markets to explore and the beautiful Tom McCall waterfront park to enjoy.

On the other hand, if you would prefer a more low-key atmosphere and more historic buildings then you will want to check out the condo options in Northwest Portland. This area also enjoys a vibrant commercial district on  Northwest 23rd avenue, with food carts, cafes, book shops and restaurants that open onto the sidewalks when the sun is shining.

Proximity to a remarkable array of outdoor destinations is another distinguishing characteristic of The City of Roses, as Portland is located at the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia rivers at the mouth of the Columbia River Gorge and overlooked by majestic Mt. Hood. There are more than 200 parks within city limits, including Mill End, the world’s smallest park at 452 square inches, and Forest Park Forest Park, the nation’s largest metropolitan forest, with over 5000 acres of canopied woodland set along downtown’s northwest border. Just 70 miles from the nearest ocean beach, Portland is situated perfectly to take advantage of the best of the Northwest’s natural beauty.

Portland’s artistic community is well known, and its creative economy encompasses a huge variety of businesses, arts institutions and social organizations.  Coupled with low cost of living, this is one of the many reasons more than 20,000 people relocate to the Portland metro area each year. An award winning transportation system means residents of this sustainably minded metropolis can easily commute between neighborhoods, suburbs and outlying recreational areas. With its temperate climate, excellent cultural offerings and relaxed atmosphere, Portland’s reputation as one of the country’s most livable cities is clearly well deserved.
