Foster Powell

I've just listed this house in the Foster Powell neighborhood, and thought I'd write a bit about the neighborhood.

The house is located at 3910 SE 67th Avenue; between Powell and Holgate on SE 67th.  This two (plus bonus) bedroom, two bath house  is priced at $229,000. It sits a half block from Kern Park.

Kern Park is small, with a ball field and playground. My clients have loved having the park so close by; with a dog and small child it has been a real asset.

The Foster Powell neighborhood, in general is made up of modest homes. Some were original homesteads dating to the turn of the century.  Others have been filled in over the years.  The neighborhood, bounded by Powell, Foster and SE 82nd Avenue (The Avenue of Roses?).

There are a variety of grassroots efforts taking place in the neighborhood, including a proposed community garden at SE 62nd and Powell.  ODOT, who owns the land, recently approved a proposal for the garden.  Then there is the project to reclaim the neighborhood alleys.  The folks at Foster Green EcoDistrict and working on the alley project.

The neighborhood has some good eats, from Carts on Foster, to the venerable Ichidai Sushi on SE Powell ( a personal favorite).  Foster Burger is popular too, along with Bar Carlo. 

Give me a call if you'd like to see the little house pictured above, or if you have any real estate questions you'd like answered.
