Historic district with small town feel
Downtown Gresham, also known as Central City, is a historic district 17 miles from Portland. “We are a big town with a very small town feel,” says Lynn Fnodgrass, CEO of the Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center. “Our community is more on the rural than the urban side, but we have an urban core.” The downtown area is very walkable and has no parking meters. The area is used as a training ground for Guide Dogs for the Blind, which is the country’s oldest program for seeing eye dogs. “Our city is of a good size for training how to stop at the curb,” says Fnodgrass. “There are no lights in Downtown Gresham, but the next stop, near the outside of town, has lights.” Gresham is Oregon’s fourth largest city and was home to the Clackamas Chinook people until it became a timber settlement in 1884. The history of Gresham is kept in the previous 1913 Gresham Library, a red Tudor Revival build listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Bungalow and ranch-style homes Starting at $300,000
Homes in the area are in the bungalow and ranch styles. Townhouses can also be found in the area and are in a simple new historicism style, with complex roof forms and long windows. New construction in downtown Gresham is scarce compared to other parts of the city. Homes reside on medium to large lots, usually with fenced-in yards alongside thin sidewalks that disappear closer to the commercial parts of town. Roadways are wide, creating an active noise level that becomes louder when close to busier streets. Homes range in price from $350,000 to $450,000. Townhouses sell for $300,000 to $450,000.
Townhomes are popular in the Downtown Gresham community.
