what is a good neighborhood to move to in portland OR?
Considering moving to Portland OR. I am checking out the homes there but have no idea which neighborhoods to check. My wife will work at Portland State Univ. and I will (hopefully) find an engineering job. So with 2 middle incomes and little commuting for my wife, what is a good neighborhood. SAfe, Clean, Not ridiculously expensive, well connected, progressive and a real good school system for the 3 year old.

Answer 1 :
beaverton has better schooling than portland thats all I have to say. If shes working at PSU and you want little commuting then I'd say you'd have to stay in the downtown area but I personally would never like to live there. Parking sucks,theres too many one way streets and people jumping out off the sidewalk. Too hectic for me. I don't think it would be good for a three year old either. I would say maybe somewhere in Beaverton?

Answer 1 :
'Best restaurants are a bus or two to downtown. I would recommend trying to get on with the Wildwood, Fratellis, Oba's, il Fornio (spelling?), places like that. Near where you are living there is also Waverley Country Club (but when I was there they didn't give tips).

Answer 1 :
well since you will be working in oregon you will pay state income tax, regardles of where you live. if you purchase stuff in washington then you will have to pay sales tax, but food is not taxed, and for big ticket items you can always come to oregon and buy it. there are many stores right across the river. personally i think washington has better schools, and a better way of life which includes lower homes. so if you can do without spending a lot of money in washington that is taxable you should be fine and would probably enjoy life more.
Answer 2 :
While it is true that you will pay Oregon state income tax for working in Portland if you plan on owning a home...live in Vancouver. The property taxes are half what they are here! I own Window Tint King, a Portland Window Tinting company here in Portland and that's the main reason I haven't moved up to Vancouver. But to give you an idea how bad it is here my property taxes are $4,800.00 a year on a house valued at $325,000. That's about double what you'd pay in Washington. Another thing to consider, though, is in Oregon there is no sales tax. In Washington there is. I hope this was helpful.
Answer 3 :
if your decision is based on the sales tax, remember that while vancouver does have sales tax, it is lower than the rest of washington, i believe, because it's so close to oregon.
