Michelle and I found a house. We saw it at 12:30pm, made an offer at 4pm, and the seller accepted it by 5:30pm. It had been on the market for less than 12 hours. Portland is hot, but so is our new home
We’re going to be living about a block north of the Alberta Arts district. Within 2 blocks are a thai restaurant (though the locals say the other one down the street is better), a southern bistro, a taqueria, a sushi/tapas place, a wine bar, a donut/coffee shop, a fish & chips place, a locally owned video rental spot, a pizza shop, and more than I can wrap my head around. More will follow. There’s going to be a balloon tied to our mailbox, that’s for sure.
Here’s a piece about the neighborhood from last month and carried by several major papers, including my birthplace’s paper. And here’s a walking map and pictures of the neighborhood.
Holy crap man. Congrats. That is exciting news. I figure I will be able to have my own home sometime in 2026. Some of us ain’t married to lawyers.
You have no idea how hard this was to type as drunk as I am right now.
Congrats! On your very first house.

Damn! That means your planning on staying down there for awhile. Really nice looking house Freeds, I’m very impressed! I’m currently in a heated bidding war with the dude in the baseball helmet for some prime realistate underneath the bridge on Marine Drive. Holly and I will try and visit soon.
Thanks everyone.
