Milwaukie: The Other South Waterfront
Milwaukie Riverfront Park Plan
With a walkscore of 98, a waterfront improvement project slated to begin this year, the MAX line making its way after that, Milwaukie is taking steps to be your new favorite hub. Portland is known for its neighborhoods and mass transit connectivity that provides access to downtown from multiple hubs, and Milwaukie already has a lot of the common amenities that have cemented other neighborhoods in the hearts and minds of Portland-lovers. With these new developments on the way, LOOK OUT! Downtown Milwaukie is poised to be the “other south waterfront”–a transit-oriented, human-scaled community with great parks, schools, and local businesses to sustain a vibrant downtown environment. This is a great quality of life, and these townhomes will nestle you in the epicenter of this evolving community.

The Portland Bungalow Alternative. . .
2127 NW Irving St. #303, Portland, OR 97210 | listed at $219,000
It’s not uncommon to see homes listed as “condo alternatives,” but what do you say about condos that have timeless characteristics that harken back to the craftsmanship and warmth of the classic Northwest Bungalow. This condo includes a lush, mature courtyard landscape, original moldings, wood floors, pedestal sink, clawfoot tub, and a covered front porch–sounds like a “Bungalow Alternative” for those who love the vintage character, but don’t want the upkeep of a home.
