Worst things about living in Gresham

Look, I love Gresham, but let's be real about the downsides:

Traffic can be bad during rush hour
Job market is niche
Crime in certain neighborhoods is a real concern

Don't get me wrong, it's still a great place overall. But people should know what they're getting into.

I work in manufacturing and finding a job wasn't hard. Took about 6 months.

I'd add that the parks here are amazing for families. Otherwise spot on!

Moved here last year. No regrets. So many outdoor activities.

If you can afford it, Northside is the best place to live. Period.

Totally agree with this. I've been here 2 years and my experience is very similar.

Great post! One thing I'd mention is check out the local Facebook groups for neighborhood info. Makes a big difference.

Downtown is overrated and overpriced. The suburbs offer way better value.

Good summary. I'd rate it higher personally — maybe 7/10.
