Walk around Portland
There is a wonderful website called: walkscore.com.
Portlanders love to walk – whether it is to go shopping, walk the dog or just run down to the local coffee shop on a Saturday. To a lot of Portland area homeowners, the topic of stores and restaurants within walking distance can make or break the home sale.
Walkscore.com offers photo tours of neighborhoods from across the country, national neighborhood rankings (based on neighborhood “walkability”) and side by side maps of the most and least walkable cities.
Portland actually rankes #10 in the nation as having the “most walkable neighborhoods”! Within that ranking, the Pearl District and Chinatown come in as #1 and #2.
Take a minute and check this out – see where your neighborhood ranks. If you are contemplating a move and a ‘walkable’ Portland neighborhood is important to you, this tool is like gold.
