Top (not so) Secret Tool of Portland Real Estate

Whether buying a house or just doing property research, we all have practical questions around real estate, neighborhoods, and our city and we are sure the answers are out there.  But often times, we’ve got no idea where to look!

As a licensed agent in this beautiful city, I hear a lot of questions on repeat.  To list some of the most frequent:

Did they pull a permit?
How is this property zoned? And what does R5 mean anyway?
What is crime *really* like around here?
Where’s the closest dog park?
What are the schools like?
The list goes on!

For buyers and sellers, Portland Maps can answer all of these questions and *more*.  To begin with, there are also maps of noise complaints, cannabis applications, short-term rental registry, and residential construction permits.

Portland Maps is also one of the greatest resources out there for Portland residents and homeowners.  With an incredible virtual tour of the Crystal Springs running from Johnson Creek Park to Reeds College and a map of Portland Hydro-parks, you might be surprised at what you’ll find.

Want to apply as a Green Street Steward (or find out what that even is)?  Want to browse a Portland tree inventory?  Pop your own address in.  See what you can learn about your biggest and best investment and this city we all call home!

Permits Protect

Buyers, when it is time to purchase a new property, make sure you take a look at PORTLAND MAPS to explore the permits pulled for any work done on the home. Walk into a fully remodeled home? Likely, this work required some sort of permitting. Not all improvements require permits, but most do. So if you see walls moved, electrical, plumbing updated, check the permits on Portland maps. They should meet final approval. Want to know more? Give us a call, we’re happy to help.
