A friendly dispute has the more than half a million residents living in Portland weighing in on which nickname best describes their town. Most commonly accepted is the ?City of Roses,? as the International Rose Test Garden is one of the area's most beloved attractions, and the annual Rose Festival is a veritable event. But other, equally poetic suggestions include the ?City of Homes,? ?City of Bridges? and ?City of Parks.?
One thing all two million people living in the metro area can agree on is that the largest city in Oregon is truly a spectacle of natural beauty: towering trees; snow-capped mountains; crystal-clear, meandering rivers; and resplendent flower gardens. Meanwhile, 37,000 acres of national parkland and lush fields ensure that the Portland area is perpetually green.
The region's moderate climate only heightens its appeal, putting Portland, Oregon homes in the forefront of new home buyers' minds. In fact, people in the market for a new home will find that the aesthetics of Portland suburbs are unsurpassed, thanks to the abundance of natural scenery and upscale addresses.
Especially convenient for area residents is the ?fringe benefit? of having everything within easy access. Because Portland is famous for its micro-brewed beers, for example, you'll be glad to know that one of the area's 33 breweries or pubs is always close by. The same is true of the town's farmer's markets, gardens, dining establishments, performing arts venues, and over 150 art galleries and museums.
Sports lovers of all kinds will feel immediately welcome in Portland. Not only do the Portland Thunderbolts, Beavers and Trail Blazers make a name for the area in professional sports, but local ?amateur? enthusiasts cover the gamut of recreational exercise--from football, soccer and baseball, to jogging, rollerblading and bicycling. Even skiing, ice climbing, snowboarding and hiking get the proper attention at nearby Mount Hood.
Regardless of which nickname best suits the area, when it comes to new homes in Portland, Oregon, there isn't a single resident who would disagree that the very best name for Portland, is ?Home.?
