Working With Kara in Montavilla
Montavilla runs along SE Stark and SE 80th, and Kara has watched the restaurant and bar scene there grow enough that it now pulls buyers from well outside East Portland. Housing is a mix of ranch homes, Cape Cods, and newer infill, and Kara is upfront with first-time buyers about which blocks still have older knob-and-tube wiring or original single-pane windows. At $380,000 to $580,000, Montavilla is often where Kara sends buyers who got outbid closer to inner SE and want a Sunday-morning Montavilla Farmers Market instead of a longer commute from Gresham.
