The MOST BORING Suburbs in Portland Oregon To Live

[@barbaraesteve1769]

Another informative video. Appreciate the perspective. Do you have a video the opposite of this one - some interesting and vibrant suburbs or neighborhoods with thriving downtowns and things to do?

If “boring” means lack of downtown activities with a bunch of drugged up people then I 100% agree with you, HV as boring as it gets. And yes, I wish HV does have more nice places like restaurants, coffee shops, some view points etc. other than that HV is one of the best places

Boring is a pretty relative term, and used here to attract viewers - at least to some degree. There are many suburbs with central downtown areas that don’t have the drug use, et al, that Portland has. Again it’s all relative. Happy Valley is wonderful by many measures. Thanks for watching!

Take on Happy Valley seems pretty off base… didn’t mention all of the outdoor recreation and nature available and there are allot of parks events also because of Milwaukie expressway and 205 you have low traffic getting to pretty much anything interesting in Portland proper under 25 minutes. Compared to Willsonville, aloha etc it is so much less suburban and boring.

You're totally right, but everyone's "boring" is different, so the idea here was to highlight areas that people COULD consider boring based on what they're in to or not. It's a lovely place with a lot to offer (and we have many videos highlighting this). Many of our "takes" aren't going to be too scientific and our goal is to offer different perspectives to people totally unfamiliar with the area(s). Thanks for your feedback and thanks for watching!
