The End of the Milwaukie Era.

By Living Room Realty, June 24, 2019

When my friends, Chey and Naomi, sold their North Portland house to find a house in the burbs I thought they were nuts until we found this mid-century in Milwaukie with an pool.  It was a time capsule of 60’s well built perfection with a spacious open floor plan and a party basement.  We had so many parties and so much fun in this house the last few summers.

But when the seasons start to change the drive feels impossible and becomes less frequent from the friends.  Naomi was driving up to work in North Portland 5 days a week and was growing tired of the commute.  Most of our friends have kids now and it’s so hard to get together for spur of the moment hang outs with them so far away.

When they told me they were ready to sell and move back to North I was thrilled but also panicked because no one else has a pool.  They won’t be having their big 4th of July pool party this year but they are they have found a new home in Kenton!  More on that purchase soon, it’s been a giant project.
