Living Here: Pros & Cons

What's Great

  • Outstanding freeway access — bordered by both I-205 and SR-14, so downtown, the airport, and Portland are all quick
  • Wooded, springs-fed setting that residents actively value and protect
  • A real range of housing — older bungalows and ranches through newer condos — at varied price points
  • Family-friendly and multigenerational, served by Evergreen Public Schools (Ellsworth Elementary)
  • Mill Plain and Chkalov Drive shopping just minutes away

Honest Trade-offs

  • Freeway-edge noise from I-205 and SR-14 on the perimeter
  • New condo and apartment building has reduced some of the mature tree canopy locals love
  • Traffic and development pressure along the Mill Plain corridor
