Some of the most expensive and trendiest real estate in Portland lies in the Pearl District, along with some of the city's best restaurants and nightlife. Home to thousands of condos and lofts with great views, "the Pearl" is a magnet for those wanting the upscale urban life. You won't find houses in the Pearl, but just about everything else. One bedroom condos typically start in the upper $200s. Two bedroom condos priced near or more than $500,000 are common. And of course, larger properties cost closer to $1 million or more.

You'll have a hard time finding a Portland resident that doesn't love the area known as Nob Hill. Historic homes neighbor new condos in an area populated by restaurants and shops. There are also numerous old properties and apartments that have been converted to condominiums as well. Studio condos can be easily found for less than $200,000. New condos start typically at $300,000 and up. And historic houses from the late 1800s and early 1900s sell for $600,000 and up.
