Neighborhoods to Visit

   

First, download and print a map (PDF format) of the Portland Neighborhoods.  This will help you with directions and orientation.  Here are some of the neighborhoods you may want to consider visiting:

  • Southwest Portland Neighborhoods:  Arlington Heights, Bridlemile, Council Crest, Hillsdale, Portland Heights, Multnomah Village, Terwilliger-Corbett-Lair Hill, and Sylvan Heights.

  • Northwest Portland Neighborhoods:  Pearl District, Northwest, Hillside, Willamette Heights, and Forest Park/Forest Heights.

  • Northeast Portland Neighborhoods:  Alameda, Irvington, Beaumont-Wilshire, Grant Park, Hollywood, Laurelhurst, and Rose City Park.

  • Southeast Portland Neighborhoods:  Eastmoreland, Hosford-Abernethy (Ladd's Addition is part of this neighborhood), Laurelhurst, Mount Tabor,  Sellwood-Moreland, and Sunnyside (aka Hawthorne).

Southwest Montgomery Drive  Take a driving tour of Southwest Montgomery Drive located in the West Hills of Portland.  HGTV (Home and Garden TV) recently did a special on the historic homes located on Montgomery Drive.  It's just minutes from downtown and easy to find.  Find SW Vista Avenue on your map (just north of downtown - it crosses over highway 26) and drive up to Montgomery - sharp right turn just after the Vista Bridge.

Another way to locate Montgomery Drive is visit Mapquest and use the address of 2300 SW Montgomery Drive, Portland, Oregon 97201-2387 to obtain a map. 

House Hunting - Open Houses

   

Portland realtors hold their "Open Houses" on Sunday afternoon.  So arm yourself with the Sunday edition of The Oregonian, which you can purchase early Saturday afternoon, and plot out your tour of homes.

Or visit the Windermere web site and make your selections in their "Home House Preview".  Key in the location, price range, and date.  You'll get a list of homes that will be opened to the public for viewing on the date selected.  The site only covers homes where Windermere is the listing agent.
