On this day I started at NE Webster and 40th (Concordia Nbhd) and walked South to Prescott, and all the way West to 33rd (Wilshire. This is such a cute neighborhood, and incorporates the coveted block of
Ken Birkemeier mid-century ranchelows with their off-set rooflines and roman brick facades, and knotty pine interiors (NE 38th Culdesac/NE Alberta Ct), and is so one of my favorite areas to tour clients through. It's "Period-Perfect" in a pre/post war kind of way. The streets are tree lined and have that classic Portland feel. The houses in these blocks are mostly 40's era salt boxes, capecods, bungalows, english cottage and transitional ranches, with a few 50's mid-mods, a sprinkling of 30's tudors and the occasional earlier foursquare/arts & crafts bungalow. The tracts are: Willamette Addition, Going St Addition, and Section 24 (the Birkemeiers).
It has a
walkscore of 72 and convenient access to all the fun places on NE 42nd, Killingsworth, and Alberta. The 6mos sales prices run from $255 to $405K, with really short 'days on market', most at 15 days or less - a really great place to buy or sell, and especially live!
