Posted on March 25, 2024 by Aryne + Dulcinea

SPRING BREAK!

Spring is here and whether you are laying low or taking a small road trip or grand vacation, it’s a great time to enjoy the great outdoors. For the last few months, we’ve been cozying up indoors with our loved ones, and now it feels good to get out! Take a look below at some fun ways to take a break this spring.

PORTLAND’S NATURAL AMENITIES

Portland proper and Oregon are teeming with amazing sites and sounds, thrills and natural beauty, great food, and fantastic entertainment. Oregon wine country, the mighty Pacific Ocean and majestic Columbia River Gorge, Mt Hood, and the high desert landscapes of central Oregon are just a handful of the wonders our state has to offer! No matter what outdoor adventure you have in mind, Portland is just a hop, skip, and jump away from all of these great destinations!

Why We Love Portland – Amenities Galore!

Posted on February 23, 2022 by Aryne + Dulcinea

This month, we continue to showcase great things about our city and share them with you because Portland has so much to celebrate! There are so many things we love here and so much more to learn about. This week, we researched Portland’s amenities:

Amenities Galore!

“In property and land use planning, amenity is something considered to benefit a location, contribute to its enjoyment, and thereby increase its value.” Thanks Wikipedia for that great definition and we agree! When choosing a place to live, you are scrutinizing the actual property, but what about the amenities?

There are three levels of amenities to consider when purchasing your new place to live:

The property amenities (especially apropos if you are buying a condo),
The neighborhood amenities, and
Portland’s amenities.

Property amenities could include a pool, gardens, concierge, or fitness room for example (once again, this is something you look for in a condo, but certainly can add to your own property).

Neighborhood amenities are things like cafes, shops, restaurants, parks, gardens, fitness spaces, and salons.

Finally, Portland has amenities, too! We have tremendous access to nature: Mt. Hood for skiing and hiking, the high desert of Central Oregon, farms to visit, the waterfalls and hikes in the gorge, rivers for fishing and swimming, and then there is the amazing Pacific Ocean!

Below are some of our more natural amenities to enjoy!

There are over 200 parks and public gardens in the city of Portland. The park acreage alone is 11,670 acres!

Hikes: 194
There are 194 listed trails near the Portland metro

Waterfalls: 236
142 in Clackamas County
69 in Multnomah County
25 in Washington County

Community Gardens: 58
There are 58 community gardens located in the city of Portland

Farms:
144 food farms near Portland
13 you-cut Christmas tree farms near Portland
5 you-pick flower farms near Portland
