Live In Vancouver, WA commute to Portland, WA or Live in Portland work in Portland?
My husband and I live in central WA (small town) with our 3 young sons(our oldest will be starting school next years) and I am unable to find work in our small town or surrounding areas. I am a Medical Assistant and received many job opportunities in Portland, OR. Which is fine we are willing to relocate (my husband is a truck driver, he can pretty much find a job anywhere we go). We like our kids to be in a small town so I was wondering with housing costs, and stuff which place was the best for us to live Vancouver or Portland ??

Answer 1 :
I lived in the Portland area for 13 years. I think it has many advantages over Vancouver. In particular is the flat vehicle registration and no sales tax. Cities on the south side to consider are Aloha, Hillsbourough, and Tigard. I lived in Aloha. You could consider Gresham on the Northeast side of Portland but I thought it was too far away from Portland. Now if you want to live in an old and friendly neighbor hood you can choose to look at homes just over the Burnside Bridge in Southeast Portland. You will find diverse neighborhoods of independent hippie types and familiy orientated Italians. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
