Newcomer S Handbook For Portland

The third edition of the Newcomer's Handbook(R) for Moving to and Living in Portland, over 560 pages long, contains detailed and updated information on neighborhoods, getting settled, helpful services, child care and education, cultural life, and much more. Written by Bryan Geon, who has spent over a decade exploring Portland and the surrounding region, both as a long-time resident and serial newcomer, this book is the essential guide to Portland and the surrounding communities.

This new book, first in our Newcomer?s Handbook Neighborhood Guide series, focuses on the neighborhoods within Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, and Austin, as well as on all the surrounding suburban communities. It provides detailed information about the types of housing and recreational opportunities found in each community, the character of each area, and helpful data on post offices, police departments, hospitals, libraries, schools, public transportation, and community publications and resources. Part of the Newcomer?s Handbook series, called ?invaluable? and ?highly recommended? by Library Journal.
