#If you have a question about Portland, you've come to the right place.

We hope that you will [read through and follow our simple rules](/r/Portland/wiki/index#wiki_what_are_the_rules_for_posting_in_.2Fr.2Fportland.3F), which we share with our friends at /r/Portland.  

**If you're moving to Portland**, here are a few basic resources. This is the **[most recent data of rental prices,](https://www.rentjungle.com/average-rent-in-portland-or-rent-trends/)** and /r/Portland has some good suggestions for **[general moving questions.](/r/Portland/wiki/index#wiki_i.27m_moving_to_portland.2C_where_should_i_live.3F)**

**If you have questions about moving, please be as specific as you can** - price range, neighborhood, pets, cars, size - and we'll do our best to help. Keep in mind, there's nowhere in Portland that is "unsafe" or inherently better than any other, so your specific tastes and needs will come into play.  

**If you're visiting Portland** please read the [AskPortland Visitor's Guide](https://www.reddit.com/r/askportland/wiki/index). This is updated frequently and made through the contributions of AskPortland readers - and it's right at the top of the page! We've gone through a lot of trouble to answer all the basic questions, so read through it and then be specific with follow-ups please!

**PLEASE BE SPECIFIC!**

Portland has a lot to offer so telling us what activities you might enjoy will help narrow down recommendations. Some activities take more time than others. The more information you are willing to share, the better tailored the responses you will receive.

There are many options for travel around Portland including our [local public transit service](https://trimet.org/), [rental bikes](https://www.biketownpdx.com/), [ZipCar](http://www.zipcar.com/portland), [Car2Go](https://www.car2go.com/US/en/portland/) and the other car rental/taxi services as you might find in any other city. Please share with us what is available to you as some popular recommendations may be less accessible depending on whether you are walking, biking, or driving.
