As the job development continues to increase in Portland, the rate of vacancy among local rental properties is at an unheard-of low compared to recent years. Portland area landlords must be rather happy these days as the rental property vacancy rate has boosted to the 11th best in the country (or should we say ‘plummeted!’) Your professional moving team in Portland is happy too! When the economy is on the upswing, people are more likely to move because they can afford it! However, if you have your sights set on moving to an apartment in Portland, make your move quick! Vacant units are a rare sight these days… at least in Portland!

Young professionals are far from the minority in Portland. In fact, while the rest of the country saw an eight percent decline of young adults in the work force, Portland has seen a twelve percent increase! Portland is such an attractive destination for young professionals for many reasons. A huge part of that is due to the city’s strong focus on green energy and technology. Intel and Hewlett-Packard are two of many big companies with headquarters in the Portland area. And as for green energy, The Oregon Wave Energy Trust is devoted to make Oregon number one in the country for clean energy. Over one third of young adults in Portland have college degrees, and more and more young professionals are moving to Portland each day! It certainly isn’t hard to see why!
