Where is a cheap place to rent in the portland, Oregon area?
I just stayed in Portland and as far as hotels/motels go, you get what you pay for... so if you don't want to spend much then be prepared to stay at a crappy hotel and in possibly a more loud party neighborhood. I noticed a super cheap place was called the Jupiter Hotel, its sort of along the lines of a hostel / motel ... apparently theres a big party scene that goes late into the night, but its definitely on the cheaper side of motels in the area. Also, its across the bridge from downtown...
Assuming you mean cheapest relative to the surroundings, and not within a certain price range as you have not provided one. Also assuming you are interested in Portland’s diverse and very price-differentiated neighborhoods since you wrote “in and near” the metro area.I recently bought a house in the Arleta neighborhood of Portland. The area is extremely walkable and Foster (minor arterial) is quickly turning into a local shopping and dining corridor like Hawthorne or Division. My 6 mile driving commute, slightly off rush hour, is about 25 minutes to the downtown waterfront. We have a lot of bridge construction going on right now and I expect the drive to be much better when that completes. My bike commute is closer to 35, towing a large dog in a trailer.For an equivalent house in an equally distant, more popular, and previously gentrified neighborhood like Mt. Tabor, I would have paid $80–100k more. For an equivalent house only 2 or so miles from work, in the neighborhood I previously rented in, I would have paid $150–250k more.A word of advice if you are looking at buying in the metro area; as of early Spring list prices in hot neighborhoods are often far below sale price. I lost a number of bids in the Tabor area, despite going 15% or more over list. I eventually decided that a great house with a big yard in a transitioning neighborhood was preferable to a smaller fixer upper on the side of Tabor. The dogs and I can still stop at Tabor on the way home :-)I also noticed that past a certain size, price, and not-fixer-upper threshold, prices in some of the satellite cities like Beaverton were about the same as prices in less hot Portland neighborhoods like mine.
As others have pointed out in kinder terms: You’ve kind of asked for a unicorn. Nevertheless, you deserve a decent answer.The reason why it’s kind of a unicorn is because of the touristy nature of the Oregon Coast. Housing, unless you don’t care what it looks like, is often expensive because of the high demand. You’ll often find entire neighborhoods being swallowed up by firms to become vacation rentals — this is especially true for waterfront homes. Even looking on craigslist for an apartment is frustrating because you’ll get a lot of these rentals. Homes on Zillow are easier to find, but you have to have a job to pay for that unless you’re buying it outright.As far as jobs go, just like others mentioned, they’re hard to find. You have to either be into hospitality, a private investor, or in some kind of business over there in order to do more than live paycheck to paycheck. Even then, there’s no guarantee that you’ll be more kind of comfortable.If you want a chance at a better life than most on the Oregon Coast, you’re best looking for something in the more populated areas. This includes places like Seaside, Florence, Lincoln City, Bandon, etc. I wasn’t kidding about the touristy nature of the coast, but that’s the kind of economy the place has evolved into.
1,000,00 for a 4 bedroom house and how much more?
What are you asking, exactly? Is that one thousand? Did you mean one million? What the hell's the question?
How long is a 24 hour notice good for?
In my lease it says my landlord must give me 24 hours notice (when "reasonable") to enter my apartment. How long do they have though? For instance, I asked when I should expect them and was told when they have time. Then when I asked for 24 hours notice, they they already gave me notice, then said either Friday or Saturday. My quesiton: Is there a time period they have after that 24 hours for it to still be considered 24 hours notice? Someone can't say, "Oh I gave her 24 hours notice a year ago, so it's still valid!" Or can they?
Were is the best place to live in oregon that's close to the beach?
There are no major cities within a 30 minute drive to any of the Oregon beaches. There is a mountain range between the Willamette Valley (where most of the state's population is) and the coast. You will either have to live in a coastal town or inland by at least an hour drive. There are several smaller cities located at the coast. Astoria, Seaside, Newport, Lincoln City, Florence, Coos Bay, Tillamook, all have hospitals, but I am sure they are fairly small. These are all places with populations around 4k to 10k. I think Coos Bay is the largest coastal community and it is maybe 15k. I think housing is somewhat reasonable for coastal towns. It is cheaper than most of the Portland area. Prime house locations (walking distance to the beach) are going to be big money because of the vacation home owners. These towns also have pretty rough winters as far as weather, but beautiful summers. IMO, it takes a special type of person to live at the coast during the winter. I know because my grandparents lived in Astoria for most of my lifetime and I didn't care for it in the winter. Most of the Oregon coast gets close to double the amount of rain the valley gets.. Most towns on the Oregon coast get at least 60 inches of rain a year. By comparison, Portland gets around 36 inches of rain. It can also be very windy and stormy. Right now (4/1/10) there is a high wind warning for the Oregon coast with gusts 70-80 mph. It's not even that big of a deal to the people that live there. They had the same thing about 2 weeks ago. Inland, it's all pretty much the same. The west side of Portland has tons of sprawl. There are some nice areas and shops. It is very urban and Volvo-ish. McMinnville, Hillsboro, Newberg, Tigard...those towns are about an hour or so to the beach when the highways aren't clogged with tourists. If you really want to move to Oregon, I would suggest not worrying so much about the coast and look into Bend. If you can find a job there (it's a BIG if right now) the housing prices are amazing by most Oregon standards. There are awesome houses for really good deals. They have great schools and it is a really nice place to live. The town grew way too fast in the last decade, but in doing so, put in some great infrastructure and overbuilt nice houses. You can always rent a place at the beach or stay in a hotel during the summer.
As a real estate agent, I can say that we’ve seen it all. We sold one of my close friend’s houses two years ago, which was stucco. Honestly, it just depends on style of home and purpose. Other sidings used include: Aluminum, Brick, Cedar, Cement Block, Fiber Cement, Hardboard, Lap Siding, Log, Shingle, Steel, Stone, T1–11, Tyveck, and Vinyl (this list is not all inclusive). I can say that stucco is less popular here in Northern Idaho.
Any low income homes in portland oregon.?
I actual do. inspite of minimum salary being fairly severe, this is nevertheless on the component of hopeless to purpose to pay one's expenses on considered one of those tiny earnings after taxes. And yet, nevertheless the universities cry poverty. Oregon fairly a lot represents the top of the undesirable financial information featuring mass cultural Leftism. as long because of the fact the adult men have been given a "D" next to his call, the human beings will save vote casting for this crap.
