You couldn't ask for anything better than Goose Hollow as far as the westside goes.
Walking distance to Washington Park, NW 23rd, The Pearl, and downtown, this neighborhood is a mix of historic Portland homes, high rise apartments, turn of the century apartment houses, and modern condos.
The fanciful name, Goose Hollow, arose from the days when settlers let their geese roam free in Tanner Creek, the waterway that dug the canyon under Vista Bridge. The rubric got lost for years until Bud Clark resurrected it by naming his pub the Goose Hollow Inn.
Park Place Condominiums in particular has our attention since we completed 3 transactions there this past year—and Washington Park is right in your backyard.
My astute buyers, Nancy and August, zeroed in on this special place after scouring the Goose Hollow condo market, and it deserves their high regard. Nestled in at the very end of Park Place, the stately trees of Washington Park are right across the street, visible from many of the balconies.
Residents are friendly and know good food if the annual potluck on the lawn by the pool is any indication. All that and it's a 10 minute walk to Zupan's Market down on Burnside and 23rd Ave.
