Sabin Homes For Sale, Prices –

Home prices run higher than average in Sabin but not quite up to Irvington levels, starting slightly under $300k.  You’ll find prices are reasonable, a step under many close-in NE neighborhoods yet provides convenience not too far from downtown.  Overall range is the mid 200’s to high $400’s for detached homes, pretty much your only option.  There’s simply no room for high-density infill like condos or townhouses, which can provide more cost effective solutions… you’ll just have to shop elsewhere if that’s the goal.  Entry-level residences offer over 1500 square feet of living space with 3 bedrooms and 1 bath.  Tipping the scales over 2500’ is common but when it does happen expect to pay in the $400’s for higher end Sabin real estate.  Buyer’s here are looking to capitalize on diversity and culture while not living in the heart of everything that keeps Portland weird.   Compare these Sabin homes for sale to other NE Portland Homes.

Sabin Home Styles –

A plethora of character!  Awesome varied designs, no home looking like the next, a variety of finishes and color.  Sabin home styles include Cape Cod, craftsman, bungalow and old-Portland designs.  Of these, 2-story layouts are most common.  Total size depicted in real estate listings includes below ground levels in most cases, which is finished to make maximum use of square footage.  Interior detail is kept in generally original style and taste, softwood floors upstairs and narrow-cut oak on the main level.  Fireplaces in living rooms are decorated with detailed millwork to compliment the common box-beam ceiling.  Dormers on exteriors pop out, breaking up architecture and adding even more character to interesting facades.  Brickwork with heavy barge rafters with matching corbels, you name it.  Garages are often single car detached and have driveways leading alongside the home itself, keeping your vehicle tucked off the street.
