Foster-Powell
A Neighborhood in Portland, Oregon
Foster-Powell
ALSO known as fopo, this is quickly becoming one of the most popular up-and-coming neighborhoods in portland.
When artists got pushed out of the Pearl District and the Industrial Eastside many migrated to FoPo and moved into forgotten commercial buildings. Filled with cool murals, eclectic shops, and one-of-a-kind eateries, you’ll feel like you are a part of a movement and a community if you make your home here. Watch the Foster Powell neighborhood get revitalized by some serious sweat equity on the part of entrepreneurs, artists, flippers, and dedicated homeowners.
Choc-a-bloc filled with historic homes, uniquely shaped buildings, avant-garde businesses there is always something fun to explore in FoPo.
