Portlandrelocation WHAT YOU'll FIND INSIDE RELOCATION Portland GUIDE WHAT YOU’LL FIND INSIDE: HOUSING & NEIGHBORHOODS RENTAL RESOURCES SCHOOL INFORMATION RESTAURANTS & RECOMMENDATIONS PARKS & RECREATION AREA ATTRACTIONS WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW HOUSING & NEIGHBORHOODS Our beautiful city is the home to as many diverse neighborhoods as diverse groups of people who call our fine city “home.” Whether you’re looking for an urban loft experience in the heart of the city or a ranch style house in a suburban area, the Rose City offers something for everyone. As Realtors®, we know how important choosing the right neighborhood for your needs can be. To get started, take a look at the brief overviews of Portland neighborhoods on this page and just some of the suburbs we serve on the following page. When you’re ready to explore more, we would be happy to set up a home tour to give you a better idea of your preferred neighborhoods! Downtown Portland: Downtown is the heart of the city and center for dining, shopping, and nightlife. A great area for exploration can also be found downtown. This area on the west bank of the Willamette River features many newer buildings, including condos and townhomes as well as offices. One of this area’s features is its accessibility through public transportation. With access to Max lines, Portland Streetcar, and buses as well as a high walkability score, the high-density area of downtown is a favorite spot for living and exploring. It is also the home to PSU. Southwest Portland: Home to excellent schools, parks, and homes with yard space; Southwest Portland also features many great views, as many homes are featured on hilly terrain. In addition, OHSU and the VA hospital are centered here. Since this area is one of the more recent developments in the city’s history, it is home to many of the area’s newer retail developments and shopping centers. Located within SW Portland, the Lair Hill neighborhood is centered on history, and many of the area’s homes are historical landmarks. Both Corbett and Terwilliger are attractive areas with lovely homes and beautiful views. In addition, Southwest Portland also includes the up-and- coming South Waterfront area for those looking for a new, high-density neighborhood with excellent shops and eateries. Southeast Portland: This area across the Willamette from downtown is home to a variety of homes ranging from riverfront estates to bungalows and new condominiums. With most areas on the east side of the river offering level terrain and sidewalk access, many residents grow to appreciate the area’s walkability and bikeability. This area is home to many of the area’s famed restaurants and historic retail centers. In addition, residents appreciate the numerous parks and natural areas that Southeast Portland has to offer, including Mount Tabor and Laurelhurst Park. North Portland: North Portland is a diverse area featuring residential, commercial, and industrial areas. It is home to the University of Portland and the Portland International Raceway as well as a vibrant residential community. The area’s renewed growth, stunning architecture, and hip culture make it a popular spot for residents and visitors alike. Northwest Portland: Directly connected to the heart of the city, many Northwest Portland neighborhoods are referred to as Downtown because of their proximity, but this area features a unique, urban vibe that residents and visitors adore. Two of the most sought-after areas in NW Portland include the Pearl District, the Aphabet District, and Nob Hill. Area schools are top-notch and despite a somewhat hilly terrain, the area is considerably walkable, making Northwest Portland a popular destination to live and play. Northeast Portland: This region of Portland offers a diverse collection of neighborhoods ranging from the urban Lloyd Center area with highrise buildings to the semi-suburban neighborhood areas along Irvington, Grant Park, and Alameda. The southernmost parts of this area serve as a hub for nightlife in the community while the outer, northern parts are highly suburban, making this one of the more diverse areas of Portland both in neighborhoods and in demographics.

West Linn: In 2011, West Linn was the top-ranked Oregon city to appear on CNN/Money Magazine’s “Best Places to Live.” Situated about 25 minutes from downtown Portland, the small town feel combined with outdoor activity options make it a popular destination. Wilsonville: A popular destination for people using the area as a halfway point between jobs in Portland and Salem, this small town offers the convenience of cities with a great community feel. Vancouver: Located on the North Bank of the Columbia River across from Portland, Oregon, Vancouver offers the convenience of no income tax for those who work in the state with the convenient location of tax-free purchases in neighboring Portland.

  • District Background
    DRAFT SOUTHEAST LIAISON DISTRICT PROFILE DRAFT Introduction In 2004 the Bureau of Planning launched the District Liaison Program which assigns a City Planner to each of Portland’s designated liaison districts. Each planner acts as the Bureau’s primary contact between community residents, nonprofit groups and other government agencies on planning and development matters within their assigned district. As part of this program, District Profiles were compiled to provide a survey of the existing conditions, issues and neighborhood/community plans within each of the liaison districts. The Profiles will form a base of information for communities to make informed decisions about future development. This report is also intended to serve as a tool for planners and decision-makers to monitor the implementation of existing plans and facilitate future planning. The Profiles will also contribute to the ongoing dialogue and exchange of information between the Bureau of Planning, the community, and other City Bureaus regarding district planning issues and priorities. PLEASE NOTE: The content of this document remains a work-in-progress of the Bureau of Planning’s District Liaison Program. Feedback is appreciated. Area Description Boundaries The Southeast District lies just east of downtown covering roughly 17,600 acres. The District is bordered by the Willamette River to the west, the Banfield Freeway (I-84) to the north, SE 82nd and I- 205 to the east, and Clackamas County to the south. Bureau of Planning - 08/03/05 Southeast District Page 1 Profile Demographic Data Population Southeast Portland experienced modest population growth (3.1%) compared to the City as a whole (8.7%).

  • The Boring Volcanic Field of the Portland-Vancouver Area, Oregon and Washington: Tectonically Anomalous Forearc Volcanism in an Urban Setting
    Downloaded from fieldguides.gsapubs.org on April 29, 2010 The Geological Society of America Field Guide 15 2009 The Boring Volcanic Field of the Portland-Vancouver area, Oregon and Washington: Tectonically anomalous forearc volcanism in an urban setting Russell C. Evarts U.S. Geological Survey, 345 Middlefi eld Road, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA Richard M. Conrey GeoAnalytical Laboratory, School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Washington State University, Pullman, Washington 99164, USA Robert J. Fleck Jonathan T. Hagstrum U.S. Geological Survey, 345 Middlefi eld Road, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA ABSTRACT More than 80 small volcanoes are scattered throughout the Portland-Vancouver metropolitan area of northwestern Oregon and southwestern Washington. These vol- canoes constitute the Boring Volcanic Field, which is centered in the Neogene Port- land Basin and merges to the east with coeval volcanic centers of the High Cascade volcanic arc. Although the character of volcanic activity is typical of many mono- genetic volcanic fi elds, its tectonic setting is not, being located in the forearc of the Cascadia subduction system well trenchward of the volcanic-arc axis. The history and petrology of this anomalous volcanic fi eld have been elucidated by a comprehensive program of geologic mapping, geochemistry, 40Ar/39Ar geochronology, and paleomag- netic studies. Volcanism began at 2.6 Ma with eruption of low-K tholeiite and related lavas in the southern part of the Portland Basin. At 1.6 Ma, following a hiatus of ~0.8 m.y., similar lavas erupted a few kilometers to the north, after which volcanism became widely dispersed, compositionally variable, and more or less continuous, with an average recurrence interval of 15,000 yr.

  • Governor Kate Brown, President Peter Courtney and Speaker Tina Kotek Re: the COVID Outbreak in Oregon – Restaurant Recommendations for Immediate Action
    * FOR URGENT CONSIDERATION * November 15, 2020 To: Governor Kate Brown, President Peter Courtney and Speaker Tina Kotek Re: The COVID Outbreak in Oregon – Restaurant Recommendations for Immediate Action In March, when SARS-CoV-2 first made its presence known in Oregon, many of us closed our doors voluntarily to keep the public safe. We turned to you in search of support and guidance to navigate the crisis. Although our industry is one of the largest employers in the state - we employ nearly 9% of the workforce - our calls went unanswered. Now as our dining areas are once again ordered closed, we urgently need your attention ​ and support, without it over 75% of Oregon’s 10,456 bars and restaurants are in danger of closing ​ permanently. Restaurants and bars cannot survive with to-go operations only. A survey of independently owned restaurants indicates that the loss of indoor dining results in a revenue loss on average of 81.75% thus forcing closures and mass layoffs. Additionally, our businesses don’t operate like hardware stores, we can’t just flip a switch and walk away. Each time we close we lose perishable inventory and we have to maintain payroll to properly shut down the business. In March, closures resulted in payroll expenses and inventory loss on average of $40,000 per location. Here we are again, closing without a safety net, only this time it is worse. After eight months of operating with reduced capacity we have no cash reserves and are saddled with crippling debt. Those of us who were able to secure Payroll Protection Program funds, have exhausted them.
