Buckman 1.

So I'll admit, I'm working on a deal in this neighborhood and find it very convenient to walk after I let an inspector or contractor inside. I've always been fond of the area, I just never really spent much time off of Belmont proper. It's a curious area, half grand/half seedy.  A pristine million dollar home will sit right next to a house that hasn't seen a lick of paint in easily three decades, and mournfully sports shredded curtains. A dichotomy of living in the inner city, I'm sure. It's what makes it urban and exciting!

On this day, I wasn't really feeling it (I'm getting a cold) so I only walked from Salmon to Belmont, from SE 27th to 23rd. The houses are mostly big, old-Portland style. A few bungalows, a handfull of tudors, some nifty multi-plexes, a colonial or salt box here and there, and ONE RANCH!

Six month sales are from $289K to $547K.  The tracts include Tilton's Addition, Hanson's Addition, Murray Hill Addition.

Here's some pretty dry reading about the history of the Buckman Neighborhood, if you're so inclined or a needing a nap: Buckman Neighborhood.
