A person moving to Portland, Oregon should know Portland is a great place. Property taxes are high, but there is no sales tax. If you enjoy cloudy days and rain, Portland is a great place. In less than two hours you can drive to the mountains, the beautiful Oregon Coast or the Columbia River Gorge. Portland is a wonderful place.

Portland is is a diverse city with a multitude of places and events to attend. It has lovely landscapes full of trees, a bustling downtown, and a relatively calm suburban area. Downtown Portland is diverse in and of itself as it has museums — art and history –, a variety of living places, many places to eat and shop, parks, little thrift shops, and more, all within walking distance.

Someone moving to Portland, Oregon should know Portland is a fairly diverse city with a very hipster lifestyle. There are 100s of coffee shops and small companies that sell various hippie and hipster products such as bohemia style clothes. However, Portland has a homeless problem that has been worked on for many years with not much improvement. Despite this though, Portland is a fun city with many intriguing aspects to draw in those who wish to live outside of most societal norms.

Portland is a unique city. With a plethora of quaint coffee shops, hipster ice cream locations, and hole-in-the-wall restaurants, a visitor to Portland would never run out of things to do. I would advise a newcomer to Portland to visit Salt and Straw: a popular ice cream destination with creative flavor combinations (e.g., honey lavender, olive oil, and strawberry honey balsamic with black pepper). Using the MAX public transit system, they’d be able to peruse the shops of downtown Portland with ease.

Portland is a great place for anyone who loves biking, hiking, coffee, and a diverse community. In general, Portlandians tend to be accepting of different cultures and backgrounds. The city provides many opportunities to learn and explore different lifestyles, and share your own. The city itself is green and biker-friendly. Whether you want to take a walk with your dog along the Columbia River, spend hours exploring the Saturday Market, get lost in the bookshelves at Powell’s Books, or find a cute little coffee shop with gluten free pastries, Portland has something for everyone!
