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.

2 townhomes available in Downtown Milwaukie

We currently have 2 townhomes available in North Main Village, Downtown Milwaukie. As you can see in the previous post on 10675 SE 21st Ave., we have a 2 bedroom, 2 bath LIVE/WORK townhome available at $244,900. We’ve just listed 10667 SE 21st Ave. for $279,900. This townhome is the end unit with 2 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a bonus space on the ground level that could be a 3rd bedroom or a commercial space, and light-filled bonus family room.

If you’d like more information regarding these homes or the local amenities in Downtown Milwaukie, please contact me. The farmer’s market is on Sunday, so that’s probably you’re best bet for checking out Downtown Milwaukie. Head out and explore. Enjoy!

Milwaukie Riverfront Plan--river view decks, amphitheater, green space, fountain, and more

Saturday, October 24th marked the 1st ever International Day of Climate Action. There were multiple ways to get involved. Run, walk, bike, march, rally, and paddle. It was a beautiful fall day in Portland, and I chose to attend The River of Action event on the Willamette River. In this case I actually toured around by bike looking for good vantage points to photograph the kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards as they created a large “350″ floatilla that made it’s way from the Hawthorne Bridge to the Burnside Bridge.

I am curious to see how October 24th, International Day of Climate Action, evolves next year. It sits comfortably “opposite” Earth Day on the calendar, so hopefully event organizers and activists be able to capture the attention, energy, and commitment of an expanding audience.

So far the tone of the events have a compelling balance between absolute urgency, commraderie and fun, and expressive action that can grab the attention and imaginations of other unsuspecting bystanders. I had numerous conversations with folks on the waterfront as we witnessed the boats taking shape in the form of the mysterious number, 350. The majority of the people around me had no idea what was going on; most were enjoying the Saturday Market on an amazing day in October. When I explained the concept of the day and the variety of actions taking place, you could see the wheels turning. Furrowed brows and puzzled looks turned to light-hearted smiles, and comments like, “Looks like fun.”

That’s what I like to hear!
