Flirting with Portland

By Constance Rigney, April 20, 2018

Chuck had been flirting Portland for almost 10 years.  It wasn’t that he didn’t want to commit–it wasn’t Portland, it was him. Work got in the way;  job offers in other cities, opportunities he couldn’t refuse.  But, he kept coming back.  The dining, the biking, the friends, the shows–he was hooked on all the city had to offer.  Chuck thought long and hard about his relationship with Portland and realized he didn’t want to be without it anymore.  So, he decided to take the plunge; he decided to move to Portland!

Chuck casually looked at homes on his own for a few years; hitting up weekend open houses, scoping For Sale signs, and checking out the personality of various neighborhoods.  So, when I met Chuck, I met a man with a plan.  He had a vision and a list.  Chuck knew exactly what his long-term home needed to have and how it needed to feel.

The houses that Portland had to offer this spring  just were not fitting the bill.  But, we hunted, we visited, we did not give up.  When Chuck finally met the lovely bungalow, that he is now happy to call home, it was pretty much love at first sight. With a shop for his woodwork, location on a quiet street, walkability, and perfect size, this house ended Chuck’s flirtation with Portland.  He is now a fully-committed Portlander and couldn’t be happier about his choice!
