We moved to Gresham from Clackamas. We lived in Portland before that. Our neighborhood is a hidden secret. We are surrounded by beautiful green hills when you look to the east and west. The view of Mt. Hood is breathtaking.
Our neighborhood is safe, peaceful and friendly. I go for walks everyday. The crime rate in our neighborhood is very low. Gresham's downtown is too cute for words. (I grew up in Chicago and worked in Chicago's downtown as a teenager). Lots of shopping and restaurants are available without having to drive very far. Not a bad drive to freeway or the airport. So happy we moved here five years ago. Would not live anywhere else.

Love, love, love living in Gresham. We're close to downtown gresham which is adorable and hosts a farmers market on Saturdays!
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!
