Newcomer's Handbook for Moving to and Living in Portland: Including Vancouver, Gresham, Hillsboro, Beaverton, and Wilsonville Review: Great Guide To Portland, Oregon And Its Environs That Even Non-Relocators Can Enjoy - The 2nd Edition of THE NEWCOMER'S HANDBOOK FOR MOVING TO AND LIVING IN PORTLAND, OREGON is a great new book about Portland, Oregon, and its environs, covering everything you need to know about the area, including recreation, dining, nightlife, shopping, sightseeing, and neighborhoods. There's precious little about the City of Roses and its major suburbs (Beaverton, Happy Valley, Hillsboro, Aloha, West Linn, Tigard, Tualatin, Lake Oswego) that's not covered here. In addition, the book covers areas that others miss such as West Haven, Raleigh Hills, West Slope, Cedar Mill, Garden Home, Bethany, North Plains, and Dunthorpe, as well as discussing the ins and outs of all of the major neighborhoods in the city itself from posh Hillside, Sylvan, Healy Heights, and Southwest Hills to low-rent Eliot. Overall, whether you're planning to move to Portland, or are simply interested in the West Coast in general, DO NOT PASS THIS BOOK UP UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review: Very Helpful Guide for Relocating to a New City - I ordered this book because I am planning on moving to Portland in the near future and I wanted to do some research on neighborhoods. This book is chock full of information. The sections describing neighborhoods have been really helpful when I've been browsing rentals on craigslist. Bryan Geon offers a realistic depiction of each neighborhood including it's history, economic standing, amenities, types of people living there, walkability and access to public transportation. A lot of the info is probably going to be more useful once I'm there but it's so great to have all of this in one place - like who to call for cable service, utilities, trash pick up days. Especially as I may not have internet access right away. Lots of helpful websites and phone numbers. I also love the section describing a year of events in Portland - it's a great overview to how much there is to do there. He also includes information about surrounding areas including parts of Southern Washington. I have a feeling I'm going to be dog earring many pages while I continue to plan my move and after I get settled in. Every city should have a Newcomers Handbook! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,866,705 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #53 in Vancouver Travel Guides #89 in Portland Oregon Travel Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (22) | | Dimensions | 5.5 x 1.25 x 8.5 inches | | Edition | 2nd | | ISBN-10 | 0982347618 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0982347614 | | Item Weight | 1.4 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 526 pages | | Publication date | May 11, 2010 | | Publisher | First Books Inc | ## Images ![Newcomer's Handbook for Moving to and Living in Portland: Including Vancouver, Gresham, Hillsboro, Beaverton, and Wilsonville - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Ifzb8GBbL.jpg) ![Newcomer's Handbook for Moving to and Living in Portland: Including Vancouver, Gresham, Hillsboro, Beaverton, and Wilsonville - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51wXEYs-fOL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Guide To Portland, Oregon And Its Environs That Even Non-Relocators Can Enjoy *by T***Y on July 1, 2010* The 2nd Edition of THE NEWCOMER'S HANDBOOK FOR MOVING TO AND LIVING IN PORTLAND, OREGON is a great new book about Portland, Oregon, and its environs, covering everything you need to know about the area, including recreation, dining, nightlife, shopping, sightseeing, and neighborhoods.

Example: "Just don't call is Portland, or-eh-GONE. The state name is pronounced OR-uh-gun. Practice before you arrive." It gives a ton of resources on every possible subject from sports to housing options to culture to green living. It is amazing and comprehensive and an invaluable resource for anyone locating to the Greater Portland Area whether personal or for business. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/1696090-newcomers-handbook-for-moving-to-and-living-in-portland-including](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/1696090-newcomers-handbook-for-moving-to-and-living-in-portland-including) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
