    Very Helpful Guide for Relocating to a New City
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2013*

I ordered this book because I am planning on moving to Portland in the near future and I wanted to do some research on neighborhoods. This book is chock full of information. The sections describing neighborhoods have been really helpful when I've been browsing rentals on craigslist. Bryan Geon offers a realistic depiction of each neighborhood including it's history, economic standing, amenities, types of people living there, walkability and access to public transportation. A lot of the info is probably going to be more useful once I'm there but it's so great to have all of this in one place - like who to call for cable service, utilities, trash pick up days. Especially as I may not have internet access right away. Lots of helpful websites and phone numbers. I also love the section describing a year of events in Portland - it's a great overview to how much there is to do there. He also includes information about surrounding areas including parts of Southern Washington. I have a feeling I'm going to be dog earring many pages while I continue to plan my move and after I get settled in. Every city should have a Newcomers Handbook!

    An excellent book, but look deeper
  

*by H***D on Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2013*

Thank heaven for this book, it saved us from moving to Portland.  It does give a very thorough picture of the physical attributes of the city and a glimpse of the culture.  The writers are earnest in their attempt to convey an accurate picture of the city, its uniqueness, and its upside.But one must look further when making a life choice.  Beneath the ever present friendly flannel -  mandatory for its citizens -  lies a faux culture of acceptance and warm folksiness.Perhaps the best aspect of the book is what it doesn't cover (it is in most aspects quite complete - the authors are to be congratulated).  Information regarding crime rate, depth of poverty surrounding the city, and the active drug pipeline can only be discovered through government documents.  The exclusionary ultra conservative religious segments can only be felt by actually meeting the residents.If one makes enough money to insulate oneself from these things, enjoys them, or can ignore them, this is the place for you.

    Great Guide To Portland, Oregon And Its Environs That Even Non-Relocators Can Enjoy
  

*by T***Y on Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2010*

The 2nd Edition of THE NEWCOMER'S HANDBOOK FOR MOVING TO AND LIVING IN PORTLAND, OREGON is a great new book about Portland, Oregon, and its environs, covering everything you need to know about the area, including recreation, dining, nightlife, shopping, sightseeing, and neighborhoods. There's precious little about the City of Roses and its major suburbs (Beaverton, Happy Valley, Hillsboro, Aloha, West Linn, Tigard, Tualatin, Lake Oswego) that's not covered here. In addition, the book covers areas that others miss such as West Haven, Raleigh Hills, West Slope, Cedar Mill, Garden Home, Bethany, North Plains, and Dunthorpe, as well as discussing the ins and outs of all of the major neighborhoods in the city itself from posh Hillside, Sylvan, Healy Heights, and Southwest Hills to low-rent Eliot. Overall, whether you're planning to move to Portland, or are simply interested in the West Coast in general, DO NOT PASS THIS BOOK UP UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
