Living in Portland

The Mississippi Neighborhood of Portland is one of the newer up and coming areas. About 10 years ago the City of Portland tagged it as an area in need of rebirth. Thanks to urban renewal dollars, investors started buying up pieces of land to build a new style of condo that compliments the neighborhood around it. Soon home buyers who couldn’t afford the high prices in NE Portland (during the boom years 2005-2007) settled on the Mississippi area because of it’s close proximity to the City and large inventory of 1920’s bungalows. There are still plenty of ‘fixers’ in the area just waiting for that ambitious buyer. A list of currently available homes is at the bottom of this post. The majority are priced between $250-$300k.

Like any new urban neighborhood it’s the retail core along Mississippi Ave. that really set the stage for redevelopment. It has be labeled “One of the most vibrant and walkable streets in Portland.” It is also one of the most heavily used cycle corridors into and around the City.

Emanuel  Medical Center and Hospital sits and the southern edge of the neighborhood providing not only employment but also a steady stream of customers for the local businesses.
