“Old Portland” historic homes and buildings, live entertainment, great food and drinks, a bohemian lifestyle, the thriving art scene, and suburbs. It’s all happening.
Find Your Lifestyle in the NE
This section of the city is home to the Lloyd, Moda, and Oregon Convention Centers – not to mention tasty eats, tons of entertainment options, and plenty of natural beauty. NE boasts the lovely Rocky Butte Park, bumpin bars and restaurants in LoBu (Lower Burnside) and weekly events in the historic Hollywood Theater.
North East Portland covers a lot of ground, which means you have your pick of neighborhoods and lifestyles. You can live in the bustling, up-and-coming communities, hang with artists, enjoy the finer things, or settle down in the ‘burbs. Whichever lifestyle suits you best, you can find it in NE PDX.
If you love art walks, you’ll love Last Thursday and Alberta Street Fair located on NE Alberta St. Local artists, craftspeople, painters, performers, and more display their wares. But you don’t have to wait until the last Thursday of every month to get inspired. Northeast Portland is also home to the bustling Mississippi Street full of food and music on any given day! Take in a show or movie at one of our historic theaters, and take in the old Portland architecture as well. Don’t be surprised if you discover your new favorite restaurant, piece of art, or even a new place to call home in the Northeast quadrant.
Not only is Northeast Portland known for delicious treats in places like Pine State Biscuits, Wild Child Pizza, and Salt & Straw, but it’s also known for its unique nightlife. Whether you’d prefer a drink at the legendary Alibi Tiki Karaoke Bar, watch a local show at Alberta Rose Theatre, or want the familiarity of a McMenamin’s hangout, you’ll find your favorite watering hole in NE Portland.
While newer communities and homes are being built throughout Northeast, neighborhoods like Irvington, Sullivan’s Gulch, and North Tabor are known for their classic Portland homes. If you love classic architecture like Victorian or the classic Arts and Crafts home – or you want to go modern, NorthEast has a house for you.
No matter which Northeast Portland community fits your lifestyle best, there will always be plenty of public transit within a short drive, walk, scooter, or bike ride. If you prefer to take the train, the blue line on the MAX will get you just about anywhere you need to go throughout this part of the city, and local buses can practically provide door-to-door service in many locations.
NorthEast Portland reaches all the way out to the Columbia River waterfront, giving you the option to live on the water, in a historic home, or in a starter home.
