This stylish condo is quite close to downtown Portland, in the Lair Hill neighborhood. The condo does not face the street, sharing common walls on both sides, but has exposure to the west hills from the living room deck and master suite. A flight of...
stairs leads past the garage, up from the front door to the open concept main floor. Two bedrooms, including the master suite, are on the top floor.

RM2
Residential Multi-Dwelling 2 zone
The RM2 zone is a medium-scale multi-dwelling zone that is generally applied in and around a variety of centers and corridors that are well-served by transit. Allowed housing is characterized by buildings of up to three or four stories with a higher percentage of building coverage than in the RM1 zone, while still providing opportunities for landscaping and outdoor spaces that integrate with residential neighborhood characteristics. The major types of new housing development will be a diverse range of multi-dwelling structures and other compact housing that contribute to the intended urban scale of centers and corridors, while providing transitions in scale and characteristics to lower-scale residential neighborhoods.
