When we've visited, our friends had a rehab'd victorian they called "The House That Superman Built" - Karl and Barb Kesel (of DC and Dark Horse Comics - the royalties on his work on "The Death and Rebirth of Superman" graphic novel bought it nearly outright. oy).
They lived in an area called irvington, IIRC, that was at the time was on the signficant upswing in terms of being an old area gentrifying.
Other friend (M. Zenobia Naphtali - My successor as Crescent herald) lived not far from work in Beaverton and introduced us to a ton of coffeehouses, and to Powells.
great place, assuming that you can manage the reduced sun levels.
