"Parks, fishing spots, the zoo.. That's all I really care about."
Hi everyone! I MIGHT be moving up in the Portland area from mid valley Oregon. Portland looks like a nightmare.. Crazy stories on the news daily. My question is are there any safe areas around Portland ? Beaverton, Tigard, hillsboro?? I don't go out to bars or party or anything like that, I just need to find a town that's somewhat affordable in the area that is a nice family town. I'm a boring gun packin family man. Lol. Parks, fishing spots, the zoo.. That's all I really care about. And somewhere I can drive to on BLM to shoot. Thanks everyone.
If you're coming up from Salem, most anything on the west side of Portland is better.
Affordability may be an issue. Though many people I know deride it as the redneck heaven of Portland, I have friends and acquaintances who live in Aloha, on quiet streets, have neighbors who mind their own business, and enjoy what I would call good quality of life. If you like small towns, you can look as far as Vernonia too.
Vernonia is being bought up by intel employees who can't afford beaverton anymore.
As is Forest Grove, Banks, North Plains. This article summarizes the situation real well.
House hunt: Can the average Portland family buy a home?
I live on SE 82nd, ride trimet everyday, downtown transfers, etc, never felt not safe in or around PDX, and I don't even carry. I think people blow it WAY out of proportion, especially the news, and the fear mongering.
I can't really think of a major city that is more welcoming, and I've been to most. The Scariest thing is the cost.
Thanks so much everyone! We may rent a small apartment in Hillsboro starting in September if we can talk them down a little bit Otherwise we need to find an RV for a decent price or a manfactured home. Those are pretty much our only options. Right now we will just try and save money. Glad to hear a lot of

The chances of you talking anyone down on rent are NIL!
My first rental in Portland five years ago cost me $1000 pm for what was basically a shanty. It's worse now and getting worse all the time. Even rents out in. Gresham are $1100 and they are owned by slum lords.
Only move here if you have to.

Sheriff Pat Garrett? Really? They say Pat Garrett's got your number, sleep with one eye open when you slumber.. The next sound you hear just might be thunder... thunder from the barrel of his gun... The businessmen from Taos want you to go down So they've hired mister Garrett, he'll force you to slow down... Sorry, couldnt help myself.....
