Im looking for advice on what places you would reccommend in the portland area, Im debating whether to take a job transfer this fall and move up in the area where my work is located. Would you reccommend living in vancouver? Ive been told the price of living is cheaper being in washington. I would want an area out of the city but not to far away from civilization. I will be renting for the first year to decide if i want to purchase a house or not and am looking for some intake on what cities/areas you would reccommend living in, and if you like living there? Im thinking I would like to be on the north side of portland closer to seattle, since thats where my family is from, but my work is in the southwest side (clackamas) portland. Thanks any advice is greatly appreciated.
