Milwaukie, Oregon |
 Milwaukie,
Oregon is an older city that is coming back strong
due to it's proximity to Portland. The city is
located very close to SE Portland and as a result
it's becoming a more desired area as there is
starting to be more new construction being built,
safer communities and the older dilapidated areas
are being cleaned up for nicer new areas. Real
Estate values are still relatively less expensive
compared with that of SE Portland so it makes for a
desirable place to consider living. |
