It seems like a lot of the young guys are opting to live in downtown condos rather than houses in the burbs. Greg Oden is getting a place in the new South Waterfront high rise neighborhood, where Channing and Milwaukee's Desmond Mason lives during the off-season.
If you had millions, where in the Portland metro would you live?

I'd live in the Hawaii. It's in really deep sw Portland.

I don't know what they have to say, it makes no difference anyway, whatever it is, I'm against it!
No matter what it is or who commenced it, I'm against it!
Your proposition may be good, but let's have one thing understood, whatever it is, I'm against it! And even when you've changed it or condensed it, I'm against it!
Sonny-Canzano: How do you know Greg Oden is getting a place in the South Waterfront? That would be excellent! Downtown (and surrounding area) is definitely the place to live in Portland. Of course if you have a substantial family and absolutely have to have a yard then I would live in the West Hills, NW, or LO.
Downtown. I grew up in the West Hills/Council Crest are, and it is great if you want a cookie cutter superficial upbringing. I truly love some of the people from that area, but I would have much rather grown up in Ladds Addition or LP. I want to live somewhere on Hawthorne when I graduate. I just love the atmosphere.
But, in general, almost anywhere out of the generic P-Town burbs' is awesome and home to a unique atomsphere.
If I could buy the house I'm currently renting, I'd stay right where I'm at. Skyline Blvd. Just past Germantown towards Portland. I love it here. It's either here, in the neighborhood-less part of the West Hills, or a Condo in the Pearl, probably. Nah. I have to have a house. So a house in NW or one of the nicer areas in NE or SE. I like the Clinton and Hawthorne area quite a bit.

I lived downtown for sometime in NW off 22nd and Everett and SW next to PSU. Loved ever minute of it as I'm sure Oden will. My only problem was the parking but I'm sure with a million dollar condo there should be a parking spot or 4 avaliable for him.
