Review of Portland, Oregon


Moving to Portland
Star Rating - 10/27/2006
My boyfriend and I are looking to move to Portland in the next few months. Much like the previous poster, I am curious what areas of the city are the best to live in. We are coming from Philadelphia, so we know what constitutes a bad neighborhood, and we wish to avoid moving into one. We will be looking to rent. We are a gay couple in our mid-late 20's looking to live in the central or somewhat central area of the city. Any help on what neighborhoods to avoid or which ones to look at would be wonderful. Thanks!
