You might just want to consider living in the outer suburbs. Oregon City is really nice and not too far, plus you'll pay less. Most people live in Beaverton and Tigard on the westside and Gresham, Clackamas, Milwaukie, Vancouver (Washington), on the East side. I live in SW Portland where I have lived most of my life so if I chose to live in the suburbs it would be Tigard, Beaverton or Lake Oswego. I don't know how familiar you are with Portland, but everything is pretty close and our mass transit is one of the best in the country.<br />@Iris --> our weather is extremely unpredictable but fortunately we do not have any extreme weather. When it rains it mostly drizzles, so you can get away with a light raincoat or jacket. We don't use umbrellas much because we rarely have a significant downpour. We hardly ever get snow but when we do the whole own closes and everyone stays home. We have had really nice weather all Summer but our grey skies are starting to visit again. Hopefully that's helpful.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086660115019539205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763995892807876510.post-22424471677570394362015-08-31T21:21:53.887-07:002015-08-31T21:21:53.887-07:00Hi, thank you so much for all the great info on wh...Hi, thank you so much for all the great info on where to go in portland!

Do you know of a great way to find places up there? We've been using pad-mapper and Craigslist, along with rent.com and hotpads.com... But nothing. Any tips?<br /><br />Thanks a million!<br /><br />-EmilyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01242314892846366093noreply@blogger.com
