Southwest Portland

Downtown

Portland's thriving downtown resides in the Southwest section of the city. A city known for its cleanliness, varied archtecture, and bubbling drinking fountains, Portland's skyline has changed dramatically over the years enriching Portlanders with a rich and vibrant downtown business district.

Downtown Portland has an ever-growing residential community. Fueled in part by Portland State University, it offers numerous high rise apartment buildings, condominiums, and lofts with all the "walk to" benefits of living in an inner city. Rich with city lights, many of these dwellings provide spectacular views of Mt. Hood and Mt. St. Helens. Perhaps the most well knowned of downtown communities is RiverPlace, located at the south end of Waterfront Park and features a "mini-community" with shops, restaurants, athletic club, hotel and a balance between apartments and condominiums.

West Hills

To the west of downtown Portland, perched on the hill, are some of Portland's oldest and finest mansions from its earlier years. Called Portland Heights, Arlington Heights, and Council Crest, these areas deliver a wide range of architectural styles, man of which provide a breathtaking view of the city and beyond. From Victorian cottages to contemporaries on stilts, a blend of culture exists, all for a price of course.

Goose Hollow

Bordered by downtown, the University District, Burnside Street and Washington Park, Goose Hollow has seen unprecedented growth within the last decade with over $50 million spent in urban renewal, including the Westside rail. Historians claim that it got its name when women raised geese near a depression in the earth thus Goose Hollow. Home of former Mayor, Bud Clark, Goose Hollow may be considered one of Portland's hottest neighborhoods.

Corbett-Terwilliger / Lair Hill

Directly south of Portland is perhaps one of the most scenic stretches of the Willamette River, home to Johns Landing and the Corbett neighborhood. Many of the original Victorian homes from years gone by (when Portland was once named "Stumptown") have been restored. Infilling has also brought modern rowhouses on this extremely sought after piece of dirt. With high mixed used developments, this area, once highly industrial, has seen and will continue to see high density mixed used projects supported by the Portland Development Commission. You can now visit the Corbett-Terwilliger-Lair Hill Neighborhood Association online!

Multnomah

Once a small retail center with a few off beat shops and antique stores, Multnomah Village has transcended into a retreat from the inner city. With its unique flavor of old and new, Multnomah offers the nostalgia of the friendly small town that so many people dream of. From Fat City to Starbucks, there's a place for everyone.

Hillsdale

Hillsdale is just 3 miles from downtown Portland yet forgives the hustle and bustle left behind. At the base of the West Hills to the south, Hillsdale's commercial district has evolved into a suburban neighborhood shopping center where residents are promoting a greater sense of neighborhood and community.

Hayhurst

Hillsdale's neighbor to the west, the Hayhurst Neighborhood is recognized most often as the home of the Alpenrose Dairy. Once a functioning dairy, it now represents the focal point by offering sports fields, picnic facilities, easter egg hunts, and more. It signifies the areas middle class, family values orientation with its primarily single family homes constructed before the 70's.
