Portland is made up of dozens and dozens of smaller neighborhoods and suburbs; each one unique and appealing in its own way. So you should decide what you’re looking for most when browsing online and apartment shopping. Are you planning on using public transportation to get to school? What is the feel and atmosphere you’re looking for in a neighborhood? Are you looking to share a house or an apartment? Do you want to live in a more urban setting or further away in the suburbs? No matter what the answers to these questions there will be a neighborhood in Portland for you. Just keep in mind the closer to downtown you get the more expensive the rent, and while rent is cheaper in the suburbs you’ll have a longer commute.
