I know it seems exaggerated to give a neighborhood a 5-star rating but, after living here the last 2-1/2 years I couldn't ask for a better 'hood! Within walking distance are excellent coffee and restaurant stops, three grocery stores, and yet also plenty of trees and pretty quiet considering it is only a 10-minute bus ride to downtown. It's cozy and close to everything, which is important if you are carless, like me.
Me and my partner live on Gladstone and are close to everything there is a Trader Joes and Safeway within less than a mile, a little pub, Starbucks, barber, convenience stores, pharmacies, sandwich shop, gas station, schools and churches and even 2 parks within 4 blocks.
The neighborhood itself has many apartment complex building but also tons of family homes, and goes up in hills but also has flat areas, and a lot of diversity too.
Plus if you want a night life or culture just go up a mile to Division street and another mile there is Hawthorne, both are vibrant and happening streets.
If you are a student there are several campuses within a 10 min drive or less. And about 30 minutes by bus.
We really like living here cause of how accessible it is, the variety of the location and walkability.

For Portland, it has been significantly hotter and sunny which has been an interesting change of pace of getting to be out in the sun in early May, but still get hit with rain storms sporadically so the weather reminds us that it is not summer yet. If you are thinking essentials get yourself a light shell rain jacket. Just Don't buy an umbrella.
