thinking about moving, need ideas
 

ok so me and my girlfriend are wanting to buy a house. but we've both been in Reno, NV our whole lives. Im sick of it here, its so ------- hot in the summer and snows all winter. In the past 5 years our realestate has gone through the roof. my mom bought a house ~2 years ago for 130k and it just got appraised at 305k. Everyone has been moving here from cali and its just not reasonable for me to get a house for less than 150 without living in a shack.

We are pretty much open on where to move, i do internet sales and also deliver pizza. I can do those anywhere in the country and not make a difference. My girlfriend is a pre-law student so a good university is important. So basically here is what we are looking for.

Nice weather, if i didnt have to have a/c that would kick ass
Good school
Good pricing, i noticed in washington state you can get a nice house for 150k
Thats about it

Now where do you guys think is a good place?
im looking at cities and if you can tell me if these are decent or shitholes etc that would help:

Seaside, OR
Vancouver
Canyonville

and i also need other cities, i just need to buy a decent house

cmon now, you know the NW Crew has a place for you.

Portland to Seattle...nice area.

Personally I am a big fan of Portland, its a nice place to live... We have two readily available drag strips, and the further north NW Crew isn't so far away that you can't join in on the festivities.

$150K in this area can get you a pretty nice place. We get more mild summers than most, but we still see the occasional 100 degree day now and again. I haven't missed my AC much.

Right on, then I can use my crvtec to deliver pizzas w/o the a/c lol. Honestly right now were thinking Oregon or Washington, It would really be nice to also not be at 4k+ feet above sea level. Its just so damn hard to make power n/a here lol

Re: thinking about moving, need ideas
 

yeah its easy to make power here.

don't do seaside....coastal town, lots of wet weather, lots of tourists, not much fun.

Re: thinking about moving, need ideas
 

ok thanks again, what would you suggest, i really dont know anything about oregon, to me seaside could be anywhere, im just lookin at houses for sale and seeing nice houses for like 110k

Re: thinking about moving, need ideas
 

portland and its various suburbs seem to be the winner for me.

I live in Clackamas. Thats around SE Portland. There's other places around it like Beaverton, Hillsboro, Milwaukie, Happy Valley (bling bling), Vancouver Washington just over the River. I've been around a few place in Oregon, Portland area by far the best to me.

Cheaper to live compared to the Seattle areas too.

i advise you to lock that ---- down(promote the g/f to wife) before you buy a house. if she is trustworthy, then it isnt an issue

Re: thinking about moving, need ideas
 

45PSI is right. The split would be a disaster. Marry her THEN buy a house.

Re: thinking about moving, need ideas
 

move to canada. ;)

come out to ohio. plenty of decent schools. miami university is beautiful out near oxford, and toledo is a nice school too. weather isnt bad, the winters can be mild and the summers the same
