Portland 2016 Home Values: Urban vs Suburban
Where are Portland homes more valuable, out in the suburbs or in the inner city? Twenty years ago, that question would have been tough to answer because home values were roughly the same on average between rural, suburban and urban areas. Actually, some suburbs were more desirable and therefore more expensive than the inner city. […]

King is a vibrant and diverse neighborhood located in inner Northeast Portland between Alberta, Humboldt, and Woodlawn to the north.

Improve Your Portland Neighborhood with Grants!
North Tabor resident (and Neighborhood Association Board member) Michael Andersen was sick of certain streets in his SE Portland neighborhood lacking sidewalks. In particular, Oregon Street. However, funding for sidewalks doesn’t seem very likely to come through from the City of Portland, given that there are dozens of streets in the city in line for […]
Portland Neighborhood Guide: Cathedral Park
Centered around its namesake, Cathedral Park is a quiet riverside neighborhood of peninsular North Portland. Cathedral Park, both diverse and affordable, is secluded from most of the bustle of Portland’s daily life.

Portland Neighborhood Guide: University Park
University Park is young, sleepy neighborhood of peninsular North Portland. Though it’s home to the University of Portland, and a large student population, the neighborhood definitely doesn’t give off the college town vibe you might expect. Quite the opposite, its character reads as a very small town. It’s an excellent location for those looking to […]

Secluded on the other side of Interstate Avenue, Overlook is a close-in neighborhood of North Portland with a cozy vibe, yet all the amenities that come with city living.

Portland Neighborhood Guide: Kenton
Kenton is a neighborhood of North Portland hidden away along the banks of the Columbia River. The pace of life here is slower, with less through traffic and a decidedly less trendy vibe than many other neighborhoods. With most of its businesses located along Denver Street, Kenton feels more like a small town than a part […]
Portland Neighborhood Guide: St Johns
St. Johns is a larger neighborhood of peninsular North Portland with a vibe of a small town. In fact, it was once its own town; but don’t tell that to its residents, some of whom firmly believe that St. Johns is NOT a part of Portland proper. It’s easy to see why: the neighborhood still […]
Portland Neighborhood Guide: Piedmont
Piedmont, originally billed as “The Emerald”, is a historic neighborhood of North Portland boasting easy commutes across the city by light rail, bus, or car. Piedmont proper is primarily residential, located just north of Mississippi and west of Alberta; but make no mistake, it has tons of character all its own with Peninsula Park as […]
