Homes

A recent RMLS home search in the Kerns neighborhood area showed homes for sale from $198,950 to $975,000.  Kerns, being close-in to downtown, is in a fairly urban area, so there is a mix of commercial and residential.  

As Kerns covers a fairly small urban area, there is not a lot of residential property within Kerns, but what there is consists of older East Portland homes--large, substantial buildings with period charm and detail, many of which have been converted over the years into multi-family units and plexes.
