Where Elegance and Green Spaces Define the Neighborhood

Eastmoreland is a neighborhood that feels like a step back in time—tree-lined streets, stately homes, and a peaceful atmosphere make it one of Southeast Portland’s most picturesque places to live. Originally developed in the early 20th century as part of the City Beautiful movement, the neighborhood was designed with winding streets, spacious lots, and a welcoming, park-like feel. Classic Tudor Revival, Colonial, and Mid-Century homes add to its charm, creating a timeless aesthetic that blends history with modern living.

Life here moves at an easy pace, with residents enjoying rounds at the historic Eastmoreland Golf Course or afternoon strolls through the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden, a lush escape bursting with color. The long, grassy esplanade along SE Reed College Place adds to the neighborhood’s signature look, inviting joggers, dog walkers, and cyclists to take in the scenery. While Eastmoreland is mostly residential, nearby Woodstock, Sellwood-Moreland, and Reed offer plenty of dining, shopping, and entertainment options just minutes away.

Community pride runs deep in Eastmoreland, with residents actively involved in preserving its character and green spaces. The historic Duniway Elementary School, named after women’s rights advocate Abigail Scott Duniway, reflects the area's long-standing commitment to education and civic engagement. With its balance of history, natural beauty, and easy access to all Portland has to offer, Eastmoreland is a neighborhood that feels like home the moment you arrive.
