Dave,

The address is 8144 SE 62nd Ave. I think it's still in Multomah? county seeing as it's in Portland, but I am not sure.

Our yard will be big enough for chickens, too! When we lived in San Diego we had ducks to lay eggs and we loved them, but they were loud and messy and their egg output was a little bit less then that of chickens.

We talked to the owners, who had young kids and they said that they have lived there a while and never, ever had a problem. We're just going to put my families Macbook Pros on our renters insurance

Just came across this rental...

Wonderful 3 Bedroom in Quiet Mt. Scott/Woodstock Neighborhood (http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/apa/2446928326.html - broken link)

Is it in any better of an area? It's a good couple of blocks away from the other one on SE 62nd.

Nevermind, already rented

Foster-Powell is and up and coming neighborhood. There are still some empty storefronts on Foster but its super close to everything in SE. Good housing, amenities along 82nd, Mt. Tabor and the springwater corridor are all right there. Its far enough away from downtown but you can still bike in and out safely along a number of established bike routes. Plus, I personally think all the best cafes, bars, and specialty shops are in this part of the city.

Well, we ultimately decided to steer clear of that neighborhood. Every rental that we were finding was pretty run down, and although we loved the area there just wasn't much in our price range.

We found a house on a 1/2 acre of land to rent in Milwaukie for 1/3 of the price we were going to try to rent homes in the SE districts for. And it's super close to work at Kaiser!

It seems to me that people WANT to perceive Portland as a dangerous place. Even "Felony Flats" aint that bad compared to most cities of equal size.

I would agree with that statement 100%. I think the large homeless population is very confusing for many people.
