Centennial-Gresham has mid-century homes and vibrant landscaping
Centennial-Gresham straddles the line between the West Coast metro of Portland and the city of Gresham. With access to the fast-paced urban bustle, it is a picturesque neighborhood with midcentury homes surrounded by lush forests and vibrant landscaping, with a community-oriented vibe. "There is an element of stability there. It tends to have well-maintained, modest houses and lower pricing compared to the Portland metro. The houses are a little smaller, but people take good care of them and their yards," says Tim Sellers, a broker and manager at Berkshire Hathaway Home Services in nearby Sandy. "This area tends to have friendly neighborhoods. I have a friend who always knows what's going on because she and her neighbors talk frequently. That's something you don't see in Portland."
Single-family homes with mature landscaping and varied styles
Single-family homes have mature trees, vibrant flower bushes and walls of hedges. The architecture includes New Traditionals, split-levels and ranch-style homes, with prices ranging from $270,000 to $750,000. Many houses have renovations and may incorporate colorful exterior siding. Condos cost between $230,000 and $430,000. "If you want amazing mid-centuries or rambling ranches, Centennial-Gresham is where it's at," says Claire Paris, principal broker at Paris Group Realty in Portland. The average home size is about 1,600 square feet, compared to the national average. "They tend to be smaller homes, and many are less than 1,000 square feet, but they are maintained beautifully. It has a desirable feel to it," Sellers says. This neighborhood in Multnomah County faces environmental risks, as does much of the West Coast, which is prone to earthquakes along multiple fault lines. Smoke and mechanical emissions can cause poor air quality issues. The region is home to numerous active volcanoes too, which are capable of erupting. All these potential risks are monitored closely by local authorities.

Hiking and biking at Powell Butte Nature Park
Powell Butte Nature Park is an extinct cinder cone volcano converted to a public park, featuring miles of hiking, mountain biking, and equestrian trails that offer panoramic views of the landscape and Mount Hood. “A lot of people go to Powell Butte Nature Park. There is also a lot of bicycling, and walking around is a real delight because it is mostly level. When you’re driving around, you see people out and about with their dogs,” Sellers says. Vance Park includes a 9-hole disc golf course, a soccer court and picnic tables. Hollybrook Park has playground equipment. Residents can also take a neighborhood trail that connects to the Springwater Corridor Trail, a 21-mile network of paved bike paths that traverse the forest along Johnson Creek.
