Neighborhood help needed for Portland area

Hi everyone,

My family is considering a move to Portland in the next couple years (from Boston). We are drawn to the area for it%26#39;s many outdoor activities, diversity, beauty, etc. We%26#39;d like to start doing some research now and was hoping for some help on what neighborhoods my be suitable for us. I am 40, my wife is 37, and we have two young sons (under 3). Ideally, we%26#39;d love to find a neighborhood that is safe, convenient, accessible to the city, has some cultural diversity, good schools, and outdoor areas for the kids. From an income perspective, I would consider us middle-class.

We%26#39;ve heard sooo many good things about Portland, and now it%26#39;s time to start making a move happen. Any advice on what areas might be appropriate for us would certainly help us narrow down the choices. It would also give us a better sense for home prices.

Thanks for the help!

You probably know that the forums are designed for travel information, NOT real estate / relocation, since you%26#39;ve been a TA member for three years.

You might check the Oregonian newspaper online for home prices, and there are lots of informational websites about Portland.
