Where Creativity and Community Thrive

Southeast Portland embodies the city’s vibrant spirit, balancing creative energy with a relaxed, welcoming charm. Its eclectic mix of architectural styles—classic Craftsman homes in Richmond, mid-century modern gems in Eastmoreland, and cozy bungalows in Sellwood-Moreland—creates a neighborhood tapestry as dynamic as the people who call it home. Imagine strolling down tree-lined streets that lead to lively corridors packed with vintage boutiques in Hawthorne, record stores in Belmont, award-winning breweries in Buckman, and a diverse array of Portland’s famous food carts. Whether you're hunting for antiques, sipping coffee in a tucked-away café, or exploring the district’s thriving arts and music scene, there’s always something to discover.

Nature lovers will find plenty to love here, too. Southeast Portland is home to Mt. Tabor, a dormant volcano turned urban oasis with breathtaking city views and scenic trails. The Springwater Corridor, a beloved multi-use path, weaves through the district, offering serene connections to nature and easy bike access to the waterfront. Brentwood-Darlington’s newest park adds even more green space for families and outdoor enthusiasts, with playgrounds, walking paths, and community gathering areas. Sellwood Riverfront Park provides a scenic spot for kayaking, dog walks, or simply enjoying the Willamette River. From neighborhood farmers markets to friendly corner cafés, Southeast Portland makes it easy to stay active, engaged, and connected to both nature and community.

Each neighborhood within Southeast Portland tells its own story. Woodstock blends historic charm with modern conveniences, boasting a strong sense of community and a growing food scene. Mt. Tabor’s tree-canopied streets and hilly terrain make it a favorite for those seeking stunning sunset views.
