Foster-Powell 2, 72nd & Holgate.

On this half sunny winter's day, having always been intrigued by the park lined boulevard running along 72nd between Foster and Holgate, I wandered the area all the way east to 82nd, including the Multnomah Cemetery, and was pleasantly surprised. Firstly, I have a disdain for Foster, can't say why exactly, but I tend to think that anything skirting it is a bit shabby, but alas, NO, I am proven wrong! This is a sweet area of fairly well tended to homes and streets, with a mix of farm houses, victorians, bungalows, mid-century traditionals, and ranches.  I was really impressed and would say that if you're looking for a nice neighborhood, fairly close in, in a very affordable area, this one shouldn't be overlooked.

The 6 month sales run from as low as $85K to $275K! There's something for everyone. The tracts include Firland, Loomis, Saginaw Heights, Marysville, Rayburn Park, Isabelle A. Carpenters, Turnabout, Evelyn, Bernhardt Park, Glenacres, etc.

If you're interested in the history of Foster-Powell, here's a nice little piece.
