Lloyd District
An Energetic North Portland Neighborhood with Entertainment at Its Core
The Perfect Blend of Live, Work, and Play
The Lloyd District is one of Portland’s most dynamic urban centers, offering a mix of commerce, entertainment, and residential spaces. Known for its high walkability and convenient location, this neighborhood brings together professionals, sports fans, and city dwellers who love the energy of an active district. Home to a blend of modern apartments and high-rise office buildings, the Lloyd District has been an evolving part of Portland’s landscape for decades. It’s also Oregon’s first certified EcoDistrict, making sustainability a priority in both business and daily life.
Entertainment is at the heart of the Lloyd District, with the Rose Quarter serving as a major attraction. This 30-acre hub includes the Moda Center and Veterans Memorial Coliseum, hosting everything from NBA games to concerts and special events. The district is also home to Lloyd Center, which first opened in 1960 as an open-air mall and later evolved into an enclosed shopping destination, reflecting Portland’s changing retail landscape. Whether you're catching a Portland Trail Blazers game, attending a convention at the Oregon Convention Center, or enjoying a rooftop cocktail at Metropolitan Tavern, the Lloyd District is packed with activity day and night.
Getting around is effortless, thanks to one of the best transit networks in Portland. The district is a major transportation hub, with MAX Light Rail, Portland Streetcar, and multiple bus lines offering seamless access to the rest of the city. Cyclists benefit from 10.1 miles of bike routes, and Portland’s national ranking as the #1 "most bikeable" large city makes commuting on two wheels a breeze. With a Walk Score of 91, the Lloyd District allows residents to enjoy everything from restaurants to green spaces like Holladay Park, where a MAX station makes urban access even easier. Surrounded by Sullivan’s Gulch, Kerns, and the Pearl District, Lloyd offers a unique blend of city living, business opportunities, and entertainment, all in one conveniently located neighborhood.
