Our lease ends next month and my wife and I took the opportunity to look for a house. We're in town right now with a lot of things right in the neighborhood and within walking distance, including work, but we want a little more peace and quiet along with space for art and music. It's been a while since I've actively looked, mostly because of how close I am to work, but this weekend reminded me of how time consuming it can be.
The trick with Portland is to find the right balance of location, cost and space. There were a couple of candidates but after checking out neighborhoods and discussing logistics I think we're gonna stay here one more year. Aiming to get a car a little later this year and nothing that I saw this weekend really compelled me to apply funds for moving costs; in a way it's putting the cart before the horse. But it was a good exercise and I'm looking forward to what we can find next year.
