Portland is Burger town. Burgers come in as many styles and configurations, and the debates over best burgers can be almost as intense as Chicago style versus New York pizza.
We are home to many worthy burgers at many different price points. From Little Big Burgers (sadly the quality has gone downhill since purchased by Hooters) small but adequate $4.00 dollar burger, to Le Pigeon’s, formally rationed to only five a night $17.00 (don’t expect fries with that) masterpiece. But the average price to pay for a better quality burger and fries in a restaurant you might actually like to hang out in for a while seems to be $14-$15. Most of which, in my opinion are just OK and many of which are boring beyond belief, served with purveyor supplied fries and Heinz catsup. (People, there are amazing ketchups made RIGHT HERE in Portland)
But somewhere, lost in a sea of mediocre $15.00 burgers lives the most succulent, perfectly cooked, ideally seasoned 1/3 pound of beef goodness at Redwood. For ONLY $12.00. Served on a Brioche bun, topped with white cheddar (why don’t more people get this?) with a house made pickle and perfectly cooked home cut fries.
Do yourself a favor and go NOW to eat the best $15 burger in Portland for just $12.00!

I've lived in the Portland-Vancouver area my entire life, so I'm very familiar with its many neighborhoods—both in the heart of the city and throughout the suburbs. A few years ago, I made the move to Vancouver to be closer to my grandkids and even closer to nature. I love how easy it is to get outdoors here, whether it’s a walk through the Salmon Creek or Burnt Bridge greenways, or a stroll along Vancouver's fantastic waterfront.
After nearly 25 years of filling homes with beautiful art and design as the owner of vintage furnishings and art galleries, I transitioned my passion for finding great pieces for great people into a career in real estate. My eye for quality and attention to detail benefit both buyers and sellers alike.
Having owned and operated businesses for most of my life, I bring with me a strong background in problem-solving, collaboration, and hard work.
I always say, “Great things rarely come from a 40-hour work week.” If you're looking for a dedicated, responsive, and compassionate Northwest native to help you buy or sell, I’d love to connect. Whether you're searching for a Craftsman, a Midcentury Modern home, a new build, a fixer-upper, or an investment property—from single-family rentals to duplexes or small apartment buildings—I'm here to help you make it happen.
