Brooklyn
A Neighborhood in Portland, Oregon
Brooklyn
THIS laid-back, QUIRKY neighborhood is a pocket neighborhood close to downtown on the eastside.
Predominantly single-family homes with a smattering of great amenities from concerts at the Aladdin Theater to old-school PDX businesses like Edelweiss Sausage, Original Hot Cake House, and Classic Pianos. Independent companies veer towards funky and fun.
A quiet residential neighborhood that is highly coveted for its close proximity to significant transit corridors with the new Orange Line Light rail and the Eastbank Esplanade. Considered community-conscious, family-friendly, and safe.
