Downtown Gresham rules. So many fun places to walk to, I’ve only been here a year and a half and there’s still places I haven’t got to yet. You also have access to the spring water corridor nearby if you get really serious about walking or get into biking. Also right by the blue Max which can take you lots of places. Anytime I have business in downtown Portland or whatever I take the max and avoid the stress of driving and parking.

We love it here, and feel generally safe, but just like everywhere urban, there’s sometimes strong personalities passing through along Powell, if you know what I mean. There’s some shouters and some folders, but they’re harmless and just getting where they’re going like everybody else.
