Love it! Highly recommend it!!. Usually mellow place to go, not a lot of people, just the right amount.. Excellent restaurants, ( my favorite being the Greek restaurant right in front of a coffee shop that has the best if not almost the best coffee in Portland. It has a friendly vibe unless you walk towards the max.. which is usually not a good idea regardless of where you are at. Historical downtown Gresham also has Main park which is not my favorite park to go but I love their little Japanese garden.. and if you got kids they can play there since it's designed for kids. Never walk behind the park, ( right where the lake is) specially at night.. I have seen tons of homeless people ( not the nice kind but the ones that probably got in trouble with the cops) as well as police constantly riding their bikes through that area. Not my idea of a good time.. I would say that besides that area downtown is mostly safe. Never seen nothing go wrong, and I have been there a lot. There is a also a lot of stores, and by this I mean enough to entretain you for a while since there is two outdoor malls ( Ulta, Ross, Rue 21, world's market, PetSmart are some of the names that come to mind, but there is a lot more..). Downtown Gresham has a really great vibe to it!!! I love the murals, and just the energy the place has. If you never seen it what are you...

I am told they are busy and understaffed but when you see several cruisers parked in the same or near the same spot night after night it makes it hard to believe they are doing their job to the fullest. Gresham is a waste of what...
Read moreI cannot get enough of downtown Gresham. From their tree lighting ceremony to their antique shop I am hooked. They have about two clothing stores, one child clothing store, several amazing food locations, game shop, furniture shop, candy shop and beer gardens. I highly recommend walking down main street and...
