Portland Foursquare Homes
Here are a couple of examples of what is called a “Portland Foursquare” or “Old Portland Style” home.
These are popular with many home-buyers because the straight vertical walls usually mean that upstairs rooms don’t have the slanted ceilings that are normally seen in Bungalow style homes and that cut living space or square footage. This means that the second floor will generally have nice high ceilings and a desirable floor plan. A common floor plan of a Portland Foursquare will be 3 bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs, with a dining room, bathroom, kitchen, and family room downstairs. These homes are also popular because of their tall, beautiful presence lending views from upstairs windows. A majority of these homes have the popular front porch, perfect for watching the world pass by. A quick search on a website reveals that there are 164 OLD-PDX style homes in Portland right now throughout SE, North, and NE Portland.
