Cape Cod Homes for Sale in Portland, OR

Discover the Charm of Cape Cod Homes

Loved for their Simplicity and Adaptability

First built by English colonists, Colonial Revival Cape Cods gained popularity in the 1930s. Original Cape Cod homes were modest in size, typically featuring living areas and a bathroom on the main level, with two small bedrooms upstairs. Their simple, rectangular design makes them easier to expand compared to some other styles, often with additions to the side or back.

Cape Cod homes bear a resemblance to Colonial homes and are considered a subtype of the Colonial Revival style that emerged around the same period. They were relatively affordable compared to the larger Colonial Revival homes, making them a popular choice for many.

Cape Cod homes were designed for efficiency. The large central chimney provides warmth to the entire house. In Portland, you'll also find a number of Cape Cod homes from the 1950s. These are smaller and more affordable, characterized by minimal ornamentation, maintaining the charming simplicity that defines the Cape Cod style.

Cape Cod homes are often found in the older Portland Neighborhoods. Check out.
