I absolutely adore this neighborhood. I lived here as a kid and moved away in my teens. I recently moved back and bought a home. It has amazing history and good bones. The architecture is diverse and offers homes that can be made to reflect all sorts of styles. It's a great place to get that fixer upper you can pay off and still put your own touch on it! I am one more artist living here that sees how beautifully eclectic we can create our neighborhood to be!
I am a single mother of three children and because of some financial hardships, we moved to a more affordable place. We were blessed by a former landlord and a property available with which he was willing to waive the deposit, because we would be homeless otherwise. So,we packed up and moved to the Portland, with a fair warning that it wasn't for us. As we moved in, people were helpful and friendly to us, we were really impressed by the immense character. But, the bad was visible with the trash and neglect everywhere.We are very heartbroken and scared by the circumstances. Soon after we got here we realized we were in the middle of so much danger and chaos. I am embarrassed and ashamed to have to say this about a part of my beloved city,but also because I had no other option but to expose my children to the fear and detriment in this neighborhood. The gunshots and drugs around us being great fear and worry to us every day. I would not recommend this neighborhood to anyone else.
It's ok, but I wouldn't stay here or move here again if I had a choice. That's because I was born and raised down here and I just need a change of scenery, and a more positive scene.
