Portland Real Estate, Concordia Home Settings –

Real estate in the Concordia neighborhood of NE Portland is a mix of affordable and modest (average) inner city residences.  Mature deciduous trees and vegetation split up by the common sidewalk.  Green but not necessarily manicured.  Revitalized over the past 10 years this has become a somewhat gentrified setting of varying results.  These 1940’s homes can fit well with abstract finishes or be quite “stock” looking.  If you want a taste of culture head southeast towards Alberta street and everything hip… this help keep Portland #4 on the nations list of weirdest cities.  Culture, class and diversity make Concordia eclectic blend of business and community thrive.  Walkscore tends to be very walkable, near  70.  Browse all Portland Homes for Sale immediately.

You’ll find classic detached Concordia homes are centered around early 1940’s construction and of traditional single or 2 story design.  Home style is simple and focused on a more conservative style, not overly embellished with exorbitant craftsman detail or rooflines.  Bungalow, old Portland, four square, and cottages are labels used to define Concordia real estate.  Lapped cedar siding with subtle accents.  Very few single level layouts or ones with master bedroom on the main floor.  Great room style will not be as prominent as the traditional formal living/dining arrangement and ceiling heights are 8’.  Bedrooms upstairs with a potential bonus room in larger designs.  Sized average near 2000’ for but can push 3000’ on the upper end.  This neighborhood provides benefit if you’re a more budget conscious buyer who is targeting good schools and close-in urban residential setting.
