The Portland Upside

“I like the thriving art scene. It’s impressive the amount of galleries that are in Portland.”
“The city planning is phenomenal. I like the ‘neighborhoodiness’ of it. It’s an extremely friendly place, and you know it the minute you get here, just talking to strangers.”
“I like all the natural places like the Rhododendron Garden, Sauvie Island, Mt. Tabor. I think Portland’s done a really good job of preserving the natural areas.”
“It is so livable. It’s really easy to live here.”
“I lived here about 10 years ago for a couple years, and I miss it. This has always been the best place I’ve ever lived.”
“There’s always a lot of motivation to bring communities together, whether it be gardening, or just as neighborhood associations.”
“I like the size of the city. It’s a small city but with a lot to offer”
“I love the beautiful green trees, the successful light rail system, and the temperate climate.”
“I travel a lot. Every time I come back to Portland, I feel remarkably happy, because I feel like I’m in a place with people that understand a certain lifestyle that I want to live, one that my kids are happy in.”
“I love the trees and the clean air.”
“Portland has the best summer. People always ask where we are going for summer vacation, and we say, ‘Right here. We’re not leaving!’”
