We've decided to settle in Beaverton, OR and it's really gorgeous. We just landed an upstairs 1-bedroom apartment in a really quiet neighborhood, with pool, weight room, sauna, recreation room with free cable TV... but best of all, fantastically lush green landscaping... I mean trees, bushes, flowers, squirrels, birds, a brook, a duck pond, and benches to sit outside and enjoy it all - WOW!!!!
And the price? Drum roll please....
Five hundred sixty a month.
You could have some (but certainly not all) of this in L.A., but the rent would be at least a thousand dollars higher. We were blown away, and jumped at the opportunity! We move in next week. We are so excited!!!
Btw the drive up here was amazing! (Mind you, it was rather scary heading up the 5 freeway through the winding mountainous areas in Oregon at night - my advice: stop in Redding, CA for the night, then cross into Oregon and do this hard part during the day.) Once you hit Oregon, at least now during springtime, you start seeing patches of beautiful yellow and white daffodils growing wild in random patches alongside the 5 freeway and everywhere in the towns. They started just north of the California border and continued on all the way up to the Portland area (by the Washington border), so I'm guessing it's a statewide thing. This place is so beautiful and we just love it here.
