Tucked into the lush green hills of Southwest Portland, Marshall Park offers a quiet, forested escape while staying within easy reach of city amenities. Winding residential streets are lined with a mix of mid-century homes, charming cottages, and newer custom builds, all nestled among towering trees. With Marshall Park at its heart and Maricara Natural Area just steps away, this neighborhood is a haven for those who love the outdoors but prefer a slower pace of life. The area also benefits from its proximity to Collins View, a neighboring community known for its access to Tryon Creek State Natural Area and Lewis & Clark College.

For those looking for local culture, Lewis & Clark College offers public lectures, performances, and art exhibits, adding to the intellectual and artistic vibe of the area. The neighborhood’s peaceful atmosphere is complemented by its close proximity to Tryon Creek State Natural Area, where miles of hiking and biking trails connect residents to Portland’s beloved urban forests.

Though Marshall Park’s natural surroundings make it feel secluded, it remains well-connected. Downtown Portland is just a 14-minute drive, and nearby highways make commuting simple.
