I live here and have a mate that lives about 5 blocks from there. No problem whatsoever. Good luck!

Portland is so small you can live on 50th and Division and still have access to all 4 quadrants of the city. You want to head to North Portland? No problem, 45 minute bike ride, 15 minute car ride... you want to head to The Pearl, same thing. Try that in bigger cities that have no Urban Growth Boundary like Phoenix or LA.

There aren't too many neighborhoods in Portland I'd consider "bad". There are some sketchy blocks in N Portland and on the outskirts of town but unless your slinging rocks you shoud be fine. Car break ins seem to be the worst you're going to get out here.
There's no reason to live in or try to be close to downtown PDX unless you work there and are too lazy to commute or you're a homeless white kid.
I live in the Roseway neighborhood in NE and love it... def. the best value hood in PDX to buy a house.
- the new theater and liquor store in Roseway are great! We should have a QBN meet up at the Pirates Cove Brown Jug!
fooler - I love the NE. Grew up in the Irvington/Dolph Park neighborhood. Great place. Expensive now though.fugged
- Dude, I was in Pirate's Cove one night and the girl there was scaaary!arthur
- Arthur, I hear they have a 1 armed stripper there! I was wondering when you'd show up herefooler
- It's the only strip club I've been to where I actually want the girls to stay dressed. Guiness on tap which is rare for Portland.BK

I live in SE portland I love it more than ANY other neighborhood. Downtown is lame, mostly. Plus gets sketchy at night. Alberta is also cool but doesn't have as much to offer as Southeast.
DO IT! Burnside, Belmont, Hawthorne, Division. All good.

Thanks everyone. I'm flying out next Friday to check out a place!

Also live in SE Portland... that area near division is one of my favorites. Lots of good neighborhoods, but avoid THE PEARL... nice to work in that area, but not to live.

I smell an eastside QBN meetup.
