No need to look at neighbors, Mt. Tabor Park is literally your front yard! Mostly brand-new top floor.

Not far from public swimming pools, Franklin HS, Tabor Middle, Grant HS is pretty close. Tennis or Pickle Ball lessons? or just free courts, at least 4 courts lighted along 60th Ave., and walkable. I've done all this myself, I lived there 3 years, July 2019- July2022. Moved there from Montavilla so my Chocolate Lab Carlos could be closer, poor guy passed at 12 years old, right before moving into the house. Rescued a Goldendoodle named Pupper and changed her name to Pepper. What's nice about the cul-de-sac gravel road is there is very little traffic, and it was almost never an issue for my neighbors or myself to let our dogs out without leash, as long as we kept an eye on them. Rescued a little black cat named Marcie, she set up an apartment for herself under the Western neighbor's driveway storage area, collected a few shrews. Front & back decks work well for hanging baskets. Stays pretty cool during the summer, with the volcano on the southern side providing shade. Garage ceiling has bicycle hooks, for raising two bikes above the vehicles in the garage. Also have some shelving for pantry area, and an additional refrigerator with freezer in the garage. Fridge could be placed in basement if preferred. Some pegboard wall near bench nook. Attic access from garage for additional A/V wiring, if needed. Arrive home on a Wednesday in the spring-fall, might hear a brass band or reggae in the caldera, practicing & sounding good. Sometimes it is a string band. Sometimes you follow the music toward the larger reservoirs and stumble into a family friendly rave! Soap box derby races every August or September. Go hiking, biking, take your dog, shoot hoops or play racquet sports. Walk 100 yards and have a birthday party for your kid, with covered picnic tables and a playground.

Even my dad used to throw snowballs at cars when he was a kid. Many concerts and activities in the park, it's just below the Mt.

Also in Montavilla you can enjoy 1st & 2nd run movies at the Academy Theater, with the original Flying Pie Pizza delivered to your seats, along with bear from Montavilla brewery or the Beer Bunker. Yoga and Chiropractic across the street. Just great food and shops on both sides of Tabor, and you are directly in the middle with a public or private school as bookends. Warning. I am a Buffalo Bills fan, I was almost as excited for Tinker Tavern to open with their Buffalo flag flying, as I was eagerly waiting to buy everything in Bonejax when they opened. While they do have Kokanee on draft and decently crispy wings, the servers have managed to turn me away. Thatcher's or Observatory, Beer Bunker, Redwood, Vintage, Over and Out, Flying Pie, the farmer's market, Pizzicato, literally every other option is less entitled and pretentious. Just letting you know. Ya Halla has Portland's first and maybe only IRON CHEF as far as I know. Try every version of their Gyros and Shawarmas, fries are also good. Lebanese grocery store adjacent with the nicest mom-lady ever working the counter. Year-Round Farmer's Market. Coquina is just two blocks away!
