1890’s Victorians, old Portland craftsman early 1900’s, some new contemporary condos.  One of the few locations that owners can get away with green and purple paint schemes, in fact, it’s practically a requirement for Victorians.  Small condos well under 1000’, detached homes pushing 5000’ but averaging 3000 (including basements).  Often basement ceiling height is marginal to be considered usable by people much over 6’ tall.
