I'm looking into the idea of moving to Portland with the Finace' in the next year or so and had a bunch of questions. Any help recommendations would be appreciated.
1. What are the "nicer" neighborhoods? We'll likely be renting for a while before we buy anything. We're currently paying $1750 for a 1br in the nicest neighborhood in San Francisco, so that's kind of our price range. Although from what I can tell by viewing Craigslist, that's a 4br house...:huh:
2. What neighborhoods are the good neighborhoods near downtown? What area have small boutique stores (clothing for the fiance)?
3. What is the speed of life in Portland? SF it's wide open 100% of the time.
4. Where are the good schools?
5. How good is public transport? Is it regularly used? I get around 75% by bus in SF.
6. How far from Bend is it?
All I can think of for now. Thanks!
