Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Portland
Perfect location. On the edge of Portland's city life but removed from the downside that city living can bring. This is my personal home and pride of ownership shows throughout. I rent it out very little.....but those who stay in it - so seem to really love it!
The Unique Benefits of this House
Close to everything yet in the inner southwest Portland suburb of Raleigh Hills. Easy access to I-5, Hwy. 217 and Hwy 26. Literally 7 minutes to downtown Portland! An approx 3 block walk to public transportation (trimet.org - #54 & #56 downtown).

"Laura, your home was perfect for our stay in Portland. It's very clean and we loved the style. The backyard was relaxing and cooking out on the grill was a plus. The location was excellent...so close to shops, resturants and downtown Portland. We made several trips to Salem and Vancouver to visit freinds & family and found the access to the freeway quick and easy. We'll keep your contact info and hope to stay in your home for our next trip to Portland. Thanks, B. Karikomi, Michigan"

We enjoyed our stay there and hope you found everything in order.I will certainly keep your email address and telephone no. handy so when we visit my daughter, we may want to rent from you if the whole family comes out. Thanks for your hospitality.

My parents from Guam stayed here during my PSU graduation in June '08. The home was close to everything! Comfortable too! Thank you so much - it was a home away from home for all of us.
