but in my neighborhood, such homes are largely occupied by multigenerational families.
In my neighborhood, these are also duplexes (maybe coincidentally, maybe not, I dunno), which are allowed to be bigger.
In areas closer to colleges and universities, those homes end up being shared by large groups of students.
Yeah, but these big houses are probably old. In the universities near me, such large houses haven't been built in my lifetime. I doubt it's too much different in Portland.
- crooked-v 6y agoAs somebody living in Portland, there just aren't many existing homes over 2500 square feet (relatively speaking, compared to other homes) in the first place. We have skinny blocks through most of the city, so there's less places for McMansions to even fit. The ones that do exist within city limits are generally $700K and up - if you want under that you'll need to look in a high-crime neighborhood. If you want an existing home over 5000 square feet within city limits, expect to pay upwards of $1.2 million if you want to live out towards the suburbs, or $1.5 million for something closer to dense walkable neighborhoods.
- noodlesUK 6y agoThere’s a big difference between 2500 sqft and 5000+
