The Home Builders Association of Metropolitan Portland announced the 2010 NW Natural Street of Dreams award recipients yesterday during an evening ceremony at NW Natural.

The dream homes earned awards in three categories: Professional’s Choice, which are judged by industry professionals from outside the Portland area; Realtor’s Choice, selected by licensed realtors who attended the show’s Realtor Day; and, People’s Choice awards, which are voted on by show attendees.

“We really transformed the show this year and gave the public exactly what they asked for,” said Show Chairman Rick Bernard. “I couldn’t be more pleased with the quality of the spectacular homes showcased by these amazing builders.”
