Curb Appeal Vol. 2: Portland’s Neighborhood Spotlight – Concordia

THE MARKET:

Situated north of Alameda and Beaumont-Wilshire in the Portland’s fast-developing Northeast quadrant, the cozy Concordia neighborhood earned it’s name from nearby Concordia University. With over 100,000 residents, first-time homebuyers and established homeowners are drawn to the district for its diversity and access to local amenities. In their recent real estate issue, Portland Monthly projected homes located in the Concordia neighborhood area will average $518,304. Lasting an average of 25 days after listing, Concordia outperforms the city average of 31 days on the market.

 

WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT CONCORDIA:

The Concordia neighborhood grew to prominence in the 19th century, when many newcomers found refuge in the area following the 1948 Vanport flood, which displaced hordes of ship workers local to North Portland. Following the flood, Portland completed an extensive revitalizing project to improve the area’s retail and transit infrastructure, aiming to make the area more hospitable for its expanding population. Since that time, Concordia has earned recognition for being a hub for local artists. From the ashes of mid-century displacement, Concordia has blossomed into one of the liveliest districts in Northeast Portland. Earning a Walk Score of 76, residents in this area can walk to an average of seven eateries and bars within five minutes.
