Here in Portland, we’re so well known for the many bridges crossing the Willamette and Columbia Rivers that our unofficial nickname is Bridgetown, and one bridge in particular remains infamous. The Sellwood Bridge, connecting the southernmost regions of east Portland with the southern West Hills and Lake Oswego, has been derided as one of the worst bridges in America. Though it’s location is important, conveniently connecting areas like the South Waterfront real estate and OHSU homes and commutes, many people take the long way around, using the Marquam Bridge or Ross Island Bridge to avoid the Sellwood Bridge altogether. Luckily, committees have been working diligently to come up with a viable replacement bridge, and the final design has been selected and property acquisition has begun for the project. The Multnomah County Commission unanimously approved the deck arch design for the new Sellwood Bridge this morning.






Wow! More John Ross Condos today!~ (Are you keeping an eye on those Adam?). There is also a condo in Lair Hill Condominiums, those are great condos by the way. There’s a higher end one in here for Happy Valley..I’m seeing the great deals in Happy Valley beginning to disappear as the REO inventory there goes quick and has slowed. Overall, this is a batch of bank owned for investors as most of these properties are cheap and really beat up! -Kristie McDoanald -Your Distressed Property Buyer Agent!
Usually the weekend REO list is very short but today we have quite a collection.
