Boise Neighborhood – Mississippi, We love you. Inner NE Portland
The Boise neighborhood sometimes called Boise Elliot. stretches from inner Northeast Portland into North Portland. It borders Sabin and Elliot. It crosses over MLK blvd and has quick access to the 5 Freeway as well as the 84 and 405. It is also quick and easy to cross over the Freemont or Broadway bridge to get into Downtown Portland. The Boise name came from Reuben Patrick Boise who came to Oregon in 1850. He was an attorney, judge and politician in the Oregon Territory.
Prior to the 1990’s, parts of Boise and around the Mississippi District there were issues with crimes, gangs and broken down homes. In 1999 the city of Portland created the Mississippi Historic District Target Area to improve public safety, upgrade housing and attract businesses. Now over 40 business have popped up on Mississippi street, some including The rebuilding Center, Gypsy Chic clothing, The Fresh Pot, Lupa Wine bar, Muddys Coffee House, North Portland Bike Works, Mississippi Records and Mississippi Pizza Pub. The Portland Community Media on MLK is Portland’s public access TV channels. Something I am greatly enjoying and taking advantage of.
The homes in the Boise neighborhood have an average price around $350k and average year built around the 1960’s.

Agent Profile
My introduction and education in Real Estate started back in college, 1989, in Los Angeles, California.
I chose to work with M Realty because of their top of the world technology and innovative home searching website unmatched anywhere in the US.
I enjoy meeting Portland locals and opening the door to so many different and unique homes to view. I also have been working with families relocating to Portland since day one as a licensed Portland Realtor. Having a vast knowledge of the Portland homes for sale, neighborhoods, schools, local places of interests and just an overall love for our city makes this job more of a passion.
My past working bio consisted of other interests within public relations:
An Astronomy educator for NASA and the Griffith Observatory.
President/CEO of AIRTIME BOARDS snowboard company.
Creator and author of KEVDIDDY children\'s music, books and videos.
In my spare time I enjoy watching my beautiful boy grow, camping where you can\'t see civilization, giving star talks under a clear night sky, The White Album, brewing my own organic blueberry wine and Organic gardening. I have been living off of my Organic fruit and vegetable garden for the last 25 years. I don\'t go produce shopping for 8 months of the year. I also have some of the most healthiest and happiest chickens from which I get fresh eggs daily.
It\'s a good day to live in Portland!
