Portland, Oregon is just minutes from Vancouver, making it an easy hop across the river into a major city with everything you could need. From endless dining options and a thriving coffee culture to shopping, arts, and entertainment, Portland offers something for everyone. It’s known for its vibrant neighborhoods, each with its own character—whether you’re exploring the Pearl District, walking along the waterfront, or enjoying local markets.

As a major hub for the Pacific Northwest, Portland has international airport access, professional sports, world-class hospitals, and a strong job market. Outdoor adventures are never far away either, with the Columbia River Gorge, Mt. Hood, and the Oregon Coast all within easy reach. Having Portland so close means you can enjoy big-city amenities while still living in a quieter community just across the river.
