Embrace the Unique Blend of Historic Charm and Modern Amenities in this North Neighborhood

Piedmont has a Rich Past and a Bright Future

There’s something special about Piedmont. Maybe it’s the classic architecture, the canopy of trees lining the sidewalks, or the way neighbors still stop to chat on front porches. Originally established in the late 1800s, this North Portland neighborhood has always been a place where community matters, and that hasn’t changed.

Peninsula Park is the heart of the neighborhood, offering everything from rose gardens and historic fountains to sports fields and shaded picnic spots. It’s a favorite weekend destination for locals and a year-round backdrop for neighborhood life. Beyond the park, Piedmont’s location means you’re never far from cafés, markets, and small businesses that make daily life a little easier and a lot more interesting.

For those looking to plant roots in Portland, Piedmont checks all the boxes—historic character, a strong sense of community, and easy access to the city. Commuters love the quick trip downtown, while those working from home appreciate the peaceful surroundings. No matter what stage of life you’re in, it’s the kind of neighborhood that makes you want to stay awhile.
