1. 7720 S Macadam Ave Apt 21, Portland, OR

Price: $879,000
Down by the river: Lay down all your troubles and come aboard this beautiful blue floating home, with its spacious outdoor living-dining space on the deck—fire-pit conversation area included!

That outdoor area expands the home’s 1,430-square-foot interior, which incudes two bedrooms and two baths. The upstairs primary suite is particularly accommodating, with a walk-in closet, an updated bathroom, and a wall of windows. The second bedroom is on the same level, and there’s even an attic above it—ideal for storage.

The main level offers a great room with a gas fireplace and an updated kitchen with Viking stainless steel appliances. When you don’t feel like cooking, you can stroll on over to the nearby restaurants, as this prized residence is in the upscale Macadam Bay Moorage on the Willamette River. Trendy food and fun are just minutes away.

Shingled in Seattle: That red Dutch door! The shingled siding! That pristine wood deck and those hanging flower baskets! This 818-square-foot, two-bedroom, one-bath floating home is replete with charm and convenience, inside and out.

Located in Seattle’s Portage Bay, known for its scenic beauty and easy commuting, this unique residence is just across from the shops and restaurants of this favored community—and a quick kayak ride from even more amenities.

The interior abounds with light from windows set in vaulted ceilings and French doors that open to the deck. The lighter wood on the floors, cabinets, and trim also add to a spacious feeling.

5. 221 N Bridgeton Rd, Portland, OR

Price: $135,000
Tiny treat: What could be cuter then a cedar shake studio that gently floats on a river? Luxuries such as extra-tall cabinetry, quartz countertops, a tankless water heater, and high-end appliances all help the 308-square-foot, newly remodeled, floating home make clever use of its space.

The sleeping loft has room for a queen-size mattress and contains a book nook and clerestory windows. The back deck, large enough to accommodate a dining table and chairs, gives the place a more spacious feel.

This little gem could make an ideal weekend getaway spot or creative retreat. On top of pricing the place modestly, the seller has offered to pay for the first three months of slip rental and fees.
