Often these real estate home buyer sections attempt to be an all encompassing guide to Portland neighborhoods.  Let's face it though, you are going to have to get out and drive, walk and maybe bike the neighborhoods before you could possibly get a feel for where you want to live.  That is why I am going to write only a broad outline about each neighborhood in order to get you started on your journey in the right direction.  Strangely there are five QUADrants in Portland.  There are the regular four as in NW, SW, NE and SE.  Then there is the fifth odd man out called North Portland.  In fact, all are wonderfully odd.  That is why one of the Portland's most famous sayings is "Keep Portland Weird".  You just have to walk around awhile to see why.  A typical web site indicative of this phenomenan is Pedalpalooza.  Now let's hear about each of the five quadrants and why you would love to live there so click here to go to the Portland Neighborhood web page.
