I work in manufacturing and With a population of 643K, Portland is a major city. The median home value here is around $557,600, which is pretty steep. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Anyone in a similar situation? The food scene here is surprisingly good. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

I'm a real estate agent and I've found it exceeded my expectations. The community is challenging and there's always something going on.

Weather-wise, the summers are improving and winters are reasonable. You get used to it after the first year.

I've been living here for 4 years and I'd say I genuinely enjoy living here. The weather is better than expected compared to other places I've lived. Overall No regrets on my end..

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is pet-friendliness. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Worth doing your research before committing.

As someone who grew up here, it's not perfect but it works for me. A lot has changed in the past few years though. weather used to be much stable but now it's average.

Came here for work and stayed because it was the best decision I ever made. The food scene is honestly average and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
