Troutdale sits at the east end of the metro where the Sandy River meets the Columbia and the Gorge begins. It is the last town before the scenic highway, which gives it a weekend character most of the metro does not have, and puts real outdoors within minutes of a normal suburban street.
The trade is the commute. Downtown Portland is a genuine drive, and that is the single thing I would want a buyer to test before falling for a house out here. Do it at the hour you would actually be driving, not on a Sunday.
What you get for it is more house and more yard than the same money buys closer in, and a smaller town that still has the metro behind it. For a lot of my clients with kids, that trade is the whole reason they moved.
