Curb Appeal Vol. 12: Spotlight – Portland’s Concordia Neighborhood

Posted on by Aryne + Dulcinea

THE MARKET

Portland’s Concordia neighborhood, situated north of Alameda and Beaumont-Wilshire, is one of the most desirable boroughs in the city’s Northeast quadrant. This rapidly growing area earned its name from Concordia University, a private liberal arts school located in the heart of the district. With nearly 3,800 households and an occupancy rate of 96%, Concordia is home to approximately 10,000 residents. As of 2019, Portland Monthly calculates the average home sale price at $535,783, which has increased from $518,304 since 2018.

 

WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT CONCORDIA

Portland’s Concordia neighborhood experienced a significant growth spurt in the 19th century after the devastating Vanport flood displaced 17,500 inhabitants. In the following decades, Portland’s Concordia neighborhood became one of most diverse and creative boroughs city-wide, serving as a hub for local artists. This history continues to have a major influence on the area, as Alberta Street remains one of the city’s most vibrant neighborhoods. Earning a Walk Score of 76, residents of the Concordia neighborhood area can walk to an average of seven eateries and bars within five minutes.

A love letter to a very special brunch spot

Posted on by Living Room Realty

If you’re anything like me, you LOVE brunch. Not only the food but the totally justified (compulsory?) day drinking that accompanies it. But not all brunches are created equal; sometimes you get served a saltless Bloody Mary that tastes like straight-up Clamato or a hash that comes out soggy from the inordinate amount of kale that was included for some reason. My partner and I have very different dietary restrictions and coupled with the sometimes outrageous wait times( I’m looking at you Alberta) for the places we like, brunch can prove to be a fruitless experience.

In our deep dive of what St. Johns has to offer we had the good fortune of coming across Paiku. From the specialty cocktails (big fan of the Orange Julio) to the flavorful hashes served with home-made hot sauces – this place is the Bona-fide real deal. Each meal is typically served with a biscuit or peasant toast (go with the peasant toast, you will not be disappointed) and a ramekin of some top notch home-made marmalade. There’s rarely if ever a wait and on Sundays they switch to a limited menu which makes their food expediting a lot quicker.

If you happen to find yourself hungry in NoPo and are looking for some killer brunch, give Paiku a try.

P.S. I have yet to try any of their pies (which I believe is the intention of their namesake). Please go try one and give me the 411.
