THE HISTORY:
Portland’s King Neighborhood serves as a prime example of the complicated social history that permeates Oregon. Once a designated district for redlining, professional organizations would penalize REALTORS® for selling homes to African-Americans outside of the district. Consequently, King has served as a cultural hub for Portland’s black community for many decades and still maintains a distinct population of socially-minded and multi-cultural residents.
THE MARKET:
Portland’s King Neighborhood has demonstrated steady growth in the real estate market for nearly a decade. The area features an eclectic collections of home styles, ranging from craftsman to modern varieties. The diverse home composition adds to King’s charm, which serves as a major drawer for home buyers. This area projected to experience rapid market growth in the coming years, and Portland Monthly anticipates a 5-year median price change of 51.1%. Home to over 6,500 people, 50% of King residents own their homes.
