Beaumont Wilshire in Multnomah County - north of Alameda is home to Wilshire Park and similar home styles to Alameda and Wilshire Park only on a smaller scale and on city sized lots of 4-5K.  For homes of this size they are becoming more expensive as the neighborhood is renewed.  Many of the homes have been rehabbed with about 1/3 of them waiting for your personal touch to make them shine.  Located about 10 minutes from downtown Portland it is a nice alternative to suburban commutes if you like older homes.

Hollywood in Multnomah County - is located east of Grant Park, west of Rose City Park, South of Beaumont Wilshire and just north of I-84.  First of all let´s say this, Hollywood is nothing like it´s famous cousin with the exception of the Hollywood Theatre and it´s grand 20´s gilded style.  Personality plus with craftsman homes, local flavor, a cute downtown Hollywood, the area has that friendly neighborhood feel.  You will find some other home styles, but the area is really dominated by craftsman, with a couple of Mediterranean (California 30´s style) and some English homes sprinkled in, all on city sized lots of 4-5K.  The area has become more expensive over the years because of urban renewal.  It´s just a quick 10-12 minute hop to downtown Portland or take the convenient bus system.
