Portland is an eclectic metropolis, which offers both sophisticated
and alternative styles of housing and culture. Portland offers a wide
price range for homes for sale with housing available from as low
as $50,000 to several million. Portland's residents find the medium-sized
city of just over half a million an idea place to live known for its
friendliness, rich cultural scene and variety of outdoor pursuits.
A temperate climate, thriving economy and close proximity to both
the Pacific Ocean and the Cascade Mountains are among the many reasons
Portland has been continually ranked in the top cities on the "most
livable city" lists. Portland was founded in 1845 by Lovejoy
and Francis Pettygrove, who christened it "Portland". The
surveyor Thomas Brown choose to lay out a grid of 16 blocks which
formed the original basis of the downtown of the city. This original
subdivided area extended from the river to Second Avenue and from
Washington to Jefferson streets. Portlanders enjoy the city's close
proximity to the ocean and mountains, but even a person stuck in the
city can find a little slice of nature. With more than 4,600 acres,
