Best Of Urban Portland Starter Homes
With the average sale price for a home in Portland now settling in around 280k, you’d expect to find a substantial number of starter homes throughout the city. However, in Portland, as in many other cities across the nation, the majority of starter homes are still confined to the outer suburbs.
When urban, close-in Portland homes are listed below 300k, there is often a reason; low quality, a history of “issues”, exposure to commercial activity, freeway noise etc. Finding a true starter home in a desirable, urban location takes some work. Out of more than 3000 homes for sale in Portland, there are currently only about two dozen starter homes that are essentially move-in ready or only require minimal work, and score high on neighborhood factors such as proximity to downtown, walk-ability, public amenities, schools and access to public transport.
