Newfound cachet overtakes old-world charm as condos transfigure the face of neighborhoods
Clay Rabbit House, named after a former potter's studio that occupied it until early this year
On Southeast Division Street and 26th Avenue, the 1904 home known as the Clay Rabbit House perches over landscaped gardens, on a corner where Rapaport hopes to one day live -- in one of 27 condos he's yet to build.
According to Metro's 2040 plan, tightly clustered communities along transit lines will be the model from Gateway to Beaverton. In Portland, Metro's plan means that main streets and corridors have been rezoned for higher density and commercial uses. Eventually, Sugnet says, most single-family homes on the city's major streets will be torn down or moved away
Store’s no-brainer: tax relief
Jay Seibert, co-owner of the Clay Rabbit pottery store at 2603 S.E. Division St., said the “punitive tax structure for small businesses in this community” has prompted the retailer’s move next month to Woodland, Wash.
