"If Eastmoreland were located in San Francisco, CaL,
being only three miles from the center of the city,
and under the same conditions that exist in Portland
as pretty as the property naturally is
with a college like "Reed" being built in it
and at the present prices that are on the lots
it wouldn't take 72 hours to sell it out clean."
The above is the statement made to me last week
by one of San Francisco's big realty dealers while I was down there.
He was more or less familiar with
the ground, location and the College at Eastmoreland,
but when I told him that 50xl00-foot lots
were selling in Eastmoreland from $950 up
he could hardly believe me.
He knows what property around Universities is worth
because he specializes in subdivision property at
Berkeley, around the University of California.
After investigating conditions there
which was the purpose of my trip to California
I am convinced that he was right,
because prices around the College at Berkeley
are over twice as high as in Eastmoreland
and Berkeley is 10 miles from San Francisco
takes an hour to go out there, costs 15 cents car fare
and you have to transfer twice.
Still, nearly all the fine homes
that are being built in and around San Francisco at the present time
are being built at Berkeley.
I asked him why it was and he said:
"The University is the great attraction."
Since my visit to the California Colleges I am
absolutely convinced that the most pleasant place to build a home
for many reasons is
around a college, where it is possible to do so.
You'll always find the best people centered there
the young life that exists around the college
the beautiful buildings and grounds that make up the College
and the general pride of all the residents
go to make the whole community
a place to live where you will say to yourself
"Life is worth living."
One of these days the people of Portland will realize
all these things, and then what will happen in Eastmoreland?
people will clamor for the property,
which means prices will go sky high!
Some one is going to make big profits
WILL YOU BE IN?
Eastmoreland is absolutely the most
beautiful residence section of Portland.
Cars run right into the property
