The Portland metro area is split into quadrants. The Willamette River splits the city between east and west. Burnside Street divides the north/south border in the city (see map of Portland) ) and Hwy. 26 divides the north south border in the west suburbs. Other than North Portland, you would have either a SE, SW, NE or NW address.
The city of Portland, the west hills directly above Portland, and the eastside contains homes built between 1890 & 1950. Building in Portland began close to town and then moved outward, so the homes closest to the city are the oldest.
The Eastside homes for sale include North Portland, Southeast Portland and Northeast Portland, with most homes built before 1950. There is a definite feel of living in the city on the Eastside with many historic neighborhoods. Happy Valley/Clackamas is a new and growing area on the eastside and many consider the area to be an eastside suburb with much the same feel as the Westside suburbs.
The Westside homes for sale (includes Northwest Portland and Southwest Portland) is the area that we once called the suburbs or bedroom communities of the city of Portland. With the influx of high tech during the 1970's-1990, the area along Hwy 26 (Sunset Corridor) became known as the "Silicon Forest". The demographics of the area are young and affluent. Most homes for sale on the Westside are less than 20 years old.
