Where Community, Character, and Convenience Meet

Roseway blends classic Portland charm with modern convenience, offering tree-lined streets, a mix of home styles, and a strong sense of community. From early 20th-century bungalows to mid-century ranches, the neighborhood's homes reflect its rich history and evolving character. Once shaped by a streetcar line that ran along Sandy Boulevard, Roseway still holds echoes of its past in its unique layout and cozy residential feel. Its small but mighty business district along NE 72nd and Sandy packs a lot of personality, with everything from local boutiques to an intimate wine bar, making it a true hidden gem in Northeast Portland.

Beyond its inviting homes and friendly streets, Roseway is a haven for food lovers. The neighborhood’s dining scene is as diverse as its residents, offering everything from classic diners to global flavors. Whether you’re craving wood-fired pizza, a hearty breakfast, or authentic international cuisine, there’s no shortage of delicious options to explore. The neighborhood’s history is also present in its landmarks, like Fairley’s Pharmacy, where you can still sip on a classic milkshake at an old-fashioned soda fountain.

With a Walk Score of 78, Roseway balances neighborhood charm with easy access to the city and beyond. Proximity to I-84 makes quick getaways to the Columbia River Gorge a breeze, perfect for weekend hikes or scenic drives. Commuters also appreciate the close connection to PDX Airport, making travel hassle-free. Whether you're drawn to the peaceful residential streets, the vibrant business district, or the effortless access to nature, Roseway delivers a little bit of everything.

A Neighborhood That Lives Up to Its Name
Roseway gets its name from Portland’s deep-rooted love affair with roses, making it a perfect fit for a city known as the “City of Roses.” It’s not just a name—locals take their blooms seriously here!

A Road with a Story
Sandy Boulevard, which slices diagonally through Roseway, isn’t just any old road. It was originally a Native American trade route, later evolving into a key path for pioneers. It’s been a major thoroughfare since it was paved in 1912!

Grassroots Green Projects
Residents don’t just enjoy nature—they actively restore it. The Rose City Bluff 2025 Native Seed Project is one of several community-led efforts to keep green spaces thriving.

Parks

With 2% of Roseway dedicated to green space, locals find plenty of ways to enjoy the outdoors. Glenhaven Park is a favorite, offering sports fields, a skate park, and picnic areas that bring the community together.
