About Portland, OR
Portland is a vibrant city known for its eclectic culture, lush green spaces, and a strong sense of community. Situated in the heart of the Pacific Northwest, Portland offers easy access to both urban amenities and outdoor adventures, from downtown dining and entertainment to hiking trails in the Columbia River Gorge. Its mix of historic neighborhoods, modern developments, and environmentally conscious initiatives makes Portland a sought-after place to live for families, professionals, and retirees alike.
Housing Insights
Portland’s housing market offers a variety of styles, from early 1900s Craftsman and Victorian homes to sleek, modern townhouses and condos. Many older properties bring unique charm but can also come with hidden maintenance issues like outdated electrical systems, lead-based paint, or aging plumbing. Newer homes may still have builder-related defects that benefit from a professional inspection before the warranty expires. In Portland, home inspections often include extra attention to moisture control due to the city’s rainy climate, as well as sewer camera inspections to check for root intrusion in older clay or concrete sewer lines.
Popular Neighborhoods
Some of Portland’s most popular neighborhoods include:
- Sellwood-Moreland – Known for its small-town feel, antique shops, and proximity to the Willamette River.
- Alberta Arts District – A lively area filled with art galleries, restaurants, and unique shops
- Pearl District – Trendy, urban, and full of renovated warehouses turned into lofts.
- Laurelhurst – A historic neighborhood with tree-lined streets and beautiful early 20th-century homes.
- Hawthorne District – Eclectic, walkable, and popular with those who love vintage stores and coffee shops.
Whether you’re moving into a historic home in Laurelhurst or a modern condo downtown, a professional home inspection can uncover important details before you make your purchase.
Local Attractions and Activities
Portland offers plenty to see and do. Residents and visitors enjoy exploring Washington Park, which includes the Portland Japanese Garden, Oregon Zoo, and Hoyt Arboretum.

- Jane Schaefer6/27/2025Landon Russell preformed our initial home inspection. He did this while we were in So Cal. He was very professional on the phone with my husband and answered all his questions. He arrived promptly and let us know he was there. Landon was at the home at 2:00PM and at 6:30pm that day his report was sent to us. As I was opening the email I thought it wasn’t going to a very thorough report but I was so wrong. Landon wrote a very detailed report and his pictures were clear. We had concerns but he easily put our minds at ease. Landon knows we will be new to the area and informed my husband he could recommend individuals that he trusted for his own home. We can’t thank Landon enough. I highly recommend Landon if you need your home inspected !read moreread lessMJ6/21/2025We had our new home inspected by Landon at Icon. He came highly recommended by our realtor Brandon King. We were not able to make the inspection as we are still in California closing on our home here. Landon kept us informed of when he was going to the home in St. Helens. We were pleasantly surprised that even though Landon was at the house at 2:00 PM we received a detailed report at 6:30 that night. His report was easy for us to read and his pictures were clear. He gave recommendations of which specialists would be required. Since we are going to be new to the area he stated he could give us names and phone numbers to check out. He was very thorough with the phone conversations and made us feel good about this important purchase we were making. We would highly recommend Landon Russell if you need to have your home inspected.

From the first phone call, he was helpful, considerate, extremely knowledgable, and listened well. He communicated well, he was very punctual, and turned around the report quickly. I learned a tremendous amount from his inspection and feel confident knowing what my home needs immediately, what it will need down the road, and what type of maintenance will be required. I would not feel as comfortable moving forward with my purchase without his thorough inspection. I recommend working with Landon 100%.read moreread less
- Chance Hopkins5/15/2025Landon was outstanding, professional, prompt, and incredibly communicative! I typically work much farther south, and my usual inspector wasn’t available to make the trip. Landon stepped in without hesitation and handled the inspection quickly and thoroughly. His attention to detail was exceptional, and his report was clear and comprehensive. I would highly recommend him to any agent in the area he covers. Truly top-tier service!read moreread less
