Multnomah County

Gresham, OR Real Estate Agent

Multnomah County's second-largest city, at the eastern end of the MAX Blue Line, with the Springwater Corridor trail and Gresham Butte on the east side of the metro.

East Side of the Metro

Gresham, where the MAX line ends

Gresham is Multnomah County's second-largest city and the eastern anchor of the metro's transit network. The MAX Blue Line runs out here and stops, which puts a Gresham home at the end of a rail line that runs straight into downtown Portland. For a buyer who wants to get into the city without driving, that is a real advantage, and it shapes which homes here make the most sense.

The city also has more outdoor access than many people expect. The Springwater Corridor trail runs through Gresham as a long, flat path for walking and biking, and Gresham Butte rises on the city's edge with trails and open green space. A historic downtown gives the city its own center, separate from Portland. For buyers weighing a home against a commute and a trail, Gresham is worth a careful look, and Jill helps you sort through it.

MAX-Connected Living

Rail, trail, and a downtown of its own

The MAX Blue Line is what defines Gresham for many buyers. Running east from Portland, it ends here, which means homes near a station put you on rail transit without a car. The same line runs west all the way to Hillsboro, so a Gresham address connects you across the metro in both directions. For buyers who measure a home partly by how easily it gets them to work, that reach matters.

Transit access is only part of the picture here. The Springwater Corridor gives you a flat, off-street trail right through the city, and Gresham Butte adds hillside trails and views. Jill weighs all of it, the rail line, the trail, and the home, so you decide with the full picture.
