Carla - in a way, I think this is pretty much the future. It is like a cruise ship. Cabin is small but you only come there to go to bed. And the rest of the day you are in some sort of social activity.

Sounds like a gorgeous condo

Hi Jon . . . South Waterfront is a neighborhood/area which has been developed par excellence. 

Hey Endre -- it's a lot more affordable then the Marina!  LOL  And residence at OHSU get a benefit from having the tram right there.  This is very "European" in design, low-car/no-car.

Hi Peter . . . it really is a practical area/neighborhood.  Very quaint and lovely!!  Congrats on your accomplishment too.  I'll email ya soon!

Hey Kim -- absolutely!

Hi Carla - I think you deserve 1000 points as well. Very well written and informational. One quick question - are the condos you have the links for your listings? Or are you doing cross marketing.  I like it!
