North Portland

Home of the Portland International Raceway, Portland Meadows horse track, Portland Speedway, University of Portland, and Jantzen Beach (once a popular amusement park), North Portland's neighborhoods include St. Johns, Overlook, and Bridgton. North Portland has seen as much of a transition as any part of the city. Once encumbered with closed up or run down "fixers", North Portland has seen an infusion of money that has transformed this community into something they are very proud of.

Overlook

Overlook is certain to have earned its name by the gently windy Willamette Boulevard on the bluff overlooking the Swan Island industrial area and the Willamette River. Home to many shipyard workers, you will find many moderately-priced, well maintained homes amongst well groomed parks.

Kenton

In the 1800's, an army private claimed what is now Kenton and then sold it for $1.25 per acre. Kenton originally contained an area of modest homes for workers west of Denver Avenue and an "Executive Row" of fashionable homes for Swift and Company Meat Packers officers east of Denver Avenue.

St. John's / Cathedral Park

St. Johns is located where the confluence of the Columbia River and the Willamette River meet. There spanning the Willamette River with its Golden Gate Bridge arches is the St Johns Bridge with Cathedral Park at its base. One of Portland's oldest neighborhoods, the St Johns community is home to the Port of Portland with many of its workers residing nearby. The community strives to protect its balance between industry and jobs while maintaining livability and access to its unique natural and recreational resources. The extremely popular Cathedral Park is an example of their determination; it represents a 10-year effort by the local residents to preserve the riverfront for their public use.

Bridgeton

The first bridges that crossed the Columbia River to Washington gave Bridgeton its name. Replaced with a dense population of marinas and houseboats, years ago, local fisherman moored their boats in little floating shanties. Similar to St Johns, the locals are working hard with developers to preserve the wildlife and livability of the area.
