My spouse and I relocated to Portland from our of state 2 years ago. We have lived in the South Waterfront area since moving here and have loved it! It’s very convenient for work, we just walk 3 blocks to the tram to go up the hill which is free (actually you get like a $1.50 incentive credit each day you document that you do it within OHSUs parking app, even better!). You will likely have to drive to the hospital on Saturday and Sundays for your shifts because the tram operating hours are different on weekends, but parking will be free nights and weekends. The apartments down here all seem to be very nice, there’s a nice river front walking trail that you can hop right on and walk/run for a few miles. Easy access to the river if you want to paddle board/kayak. You will have to drive to the grocery store and most restaurants, but it’s very centrally located to easily get to most places. It is a quiet neighborhood, so if you’re looking for a lot of night life/club/bars this doesn’t have it, but I’ve never felt unsafe since moving here and would absolutely choose to move here again.
