If you are in the rental property business, you want your rental properties to be successful. What better way to have your rental property be a success than to buy homes in an area that is absolutely amazing. Portland, Oregon and its surrounding cities are extremely special. They are beautiful, have amazing amenities, and are full of great people. Let’s take a look at the top areas in and around Portland for rental property investments.
SE Portland
Southeast Portland in general is fantastic! It is thriving and is an awesome place to invest in rental properties. Southeast Portland is known for being the trendy but also family friendly area in Oregon. It is full of brewpubs, restaurants, and other awesome activities. It also has awesome nature parks.
Eastmoreland
If you like the vibe of Southeast Portland that we previously discussed, check out Eastmoreland. The neighborhood features large homes and gorgeous gardens. Eastmoreland does not have a lot of neighborhoods or shops. So, it is perfect if you are looking for a quieter place for your rental property. Although it is lacking the amenities that the neighborhoods that are closer to downtown have, Eastmoreland does have its own golf course.
North Portland
If Southeast Portland is not your thing, check out North Portland. Like Southeast, it is full of awesome things to do. In North Portland you can find the Oregon Zoo, the Portland Japanese Garden, and the Portland Art Museum. You can also get some tasty bites to eat in this area.
