I love how family friendly Gresham is but I do feel like we need help with crime, homelessness, and graphity throughout the city. Summertime in Gresham's park's are great and each park has something different to offer... Gresham park's cover it all from fishing to a family movie on a big screen in the park! If we could just clean up the crime, graphity and help the homeless it would be an amazing place!

This is a pretty good town, I have grown up here and so did my parents. The best part about it is Downtown Gresham off on Main street. There are so many restaurants, antique stores, coffee shops, frozen yogurt, karate classes, parks, and so much more! Really a great town if you have the time to come see it!
Stores are walking distance. Shopping stores and food stores. Multiple transportation methods. Clean town. Gresham Values. Friendly neighbors. You get the Portland city vibe but not all the Portland traffic. A lot of trees. Sandy is also a few miles away. Coffee everywhere!
