Blog Stories FROM P-TOWN TO SHINING P-TOWN!

FROM P-TOWN TO SHINING P-TOWN!

By Tracey Henkels, March 19, 2018

My neighbors referred me to Katie and Amy. This adorable couple moved here from Boston recently, started new jobs and decided that they wanted to buy a home together in their new P-Town, Portland. 

So, I had heard of Provincetown but knew nothing about this place. Amy and Katie promised me that it’s a must-go experience! I’ve been wanting to Cape Cod so P-town (East Coast style), here we come! Just in case you didn’t know or to refresh the memory; Provincetown is at the northern tip of Cape Cod, Massachusetts and a 90 minute ferry ride from Boston. The seaside town is on the site of the Mayflower’s landing in 1620. P-town is known as a longtime haven for artists, lesbians and gay men. Numerous galleries plus restaurants, nightclubs, cabarets and specialty shops are clustered on and around lively Commercial Street. Fun!

Congratulations to these amazing ladies who bought this gorgeous new house in Kerns-Buckman – check it out!

With a degree in Architecture from Iowa State University and six years of experience in the architecture field, Tracey has a keen eye for design and a deep understanding of how homes are built—literally and metaphorically.

Tracey is deeply connected to her community and is passionate about making a meaningful impact beyond real estate. She’s been a resident of the Hosford-Abernethy neighborhood in SE Portland since 2002; you’ll often find her in her garden nurturing vegetables and flowers, hosting neighbors and friends, exploring Oregon’s great outdoors, or planning her next travel adventure.
