The Portland Apartment

So I pulled into Portland on Tuesday without a place to call home. I had hotel reservations for my first two nights here, but needed to settle on a place sooner rater than later. I had tentatively lined up a place, but needed to see it so I could sign a lease. This apartment had a lot to offer i.e: walking distance to work, 6 month lease, garage for my car, and unknown to me at the time, a farmers market three blocks away every Saturday. I came to look at the apartment on Wednesday the 9th. The pictures i got from the manager, were accurate, and the the only con I found was the proximity to the interstate. The pros were to many to pass up, and I signed the lease and had a place to call home. My new home is 2073 SW Park Ave, #203, Portland, OR 97201.

The only thing left to do now was the move in, unload my car and then buy everything I needed to get settled prior to my first day of work on April 14th. After several trips to IKEA and Target, and Walmart, the apartment is now ready to be lived in. It is quite a bachelor pad as you can see from the pictures. Plenty of space for me, and I have decided I am really going to love it hear in Portland. My first weekend here the weather was gorgeous, and I finally got to see Mount Hood. By sunday I was completly settled and just needed internet to I had some better entertainment. All in all a great experience moving to portland and getting settled has been stressful, but really fun.

Here are some pictures of my apartment.
