Live, Work and Play
North Portland is a vibrant and eclectic part of the city, blending historic charm with modern convenience. Tree-lined streets, stunning river views, and a mix of classic and contemporary home styles make this district a desirable place to call home. Whether you're drawn to charming Craftsman bungalows, mid-century ranches, or sleek new builds, there's a little something for everyone. Kenton offers a small-town feel with its cluster of cute shops, beloved local restaurants, and the iconic Paul Bunyan statue keeping watch over the neighborhood. St. Johns boasts its own unique identity, with an artsy, laid-back vibe and the breathtaking Cathedral Park, a favorite gathering spot beneath the towering St. Johns Bridge.
Beyond its residential appeal, North Portland is rich with opportunities to explore the outdoors. Smith and Bybee Wetlands offer a peaceful escape for kayaking and birdwatching, while the Peninsula Crossing Trail provides a scenic route for cyclists and joggers. Pier Park is a local gem, complete with towering fir trees, a disc golf course, and a beloved public pool. Easy access to the Columbia River and Hayden Island means water lovers can enjoy boating, fishing, or just relaxing by the shore. And if you’re looking for a weekend adventure, Sauvie Island is just a short drive away, offering scenic farms, pumpkin patches, and a stretch of sandy beaches along the river.
Connectivity is another major perk of living in North Portland. The district is well-served by the MAX Yellow Line, making it easy to get downtown, and cyclists appreciate the network of bike-friendly streets. Interstate 5 and the St. Johns Bridge provide quick access to other parts of the city, while the proximity to Portland International Airport makes travel convenient. Whether it’s the strong sense of community, easy access to nature, or the mix of independent businesses and dining options, North Portland offers a unique and welcoming place to call home.
