Portland, Oregon is a really great place to live.
I have been living here for quite a few years now, and I really love it. When I first started looking into places to relocate my home and family, Portland wasn’t really even on the list. I thought that I would want to go somewhere in the desert or somewhere that’s warm almost all year long. But the more I looked into the job market around the area of Portland, the more I realized that it was just the type of place that I wanted to move my family. I work in the technology industry, and there are tons of smaller electronics names that have grown up in the so-called Silicon Forest area in Portland. Finding a new job in the technology field was pretty easy for me and growth in my field is very strong, too. Over the past few years, I have figured out that there is a reason that people keep on moving to the Portland area. It’s a really great city with a great vibe. The social dynamics of the city alone are enough of a reason to want to live here for a lot of people. There is so much food, culture, and art that you will always be able to find something to do. Cannabis is legal here in Portland and there are dispensaries on almost every corner. Also, Portland is really beautiful. If you drive an hour to the west, you will be able to see the ocean. If you turn around and drive an hour to the east you’ll be in the mountains. The location just simply can’t be beat.
