The Neighborhood:

Welcome to Northwest Portland—one of the city’s most iconic and beloved neighborhoods. Nestled in the heart of the historic Alphabet District, this walkable enclave blends old Portland charm with a vibrant, modern lifestyle.



Tree-lined streets and beautifully preserved homes give the area a timeless feel, while just around the corner, NW 23rd Avenue (affectionately known as “Trendy Third”) buzzes with life. This popular stretch is packed with locally owned boutiques, chef-driven restaurants, cozy cafés, cocktail bars, and dessert spots like Salt & Straw and Papa Haydn. Whether you’re up for a leisurely brunch, window shopping, or an evening of wine and small plates, it’s all right outside your door.



Outdoor lovers will appreciate being minutes from Washington Park—home to the world-renowned Japanese Garden, International Rose Test Garden, and Oregon Zoo. Just beyond that lies Forest Park, one of the largest urban forests in the U.S., offering over 80 miles of hiking and biking trails through lush, Pacific Northwest wilderness.



Cultural highlights are also close at hand. Spend an afternoon browsing the Portland Art Museum, catch an indie film at historic Cinema 21, or explore nearby galleries and pop-up events. The neighborhood frequently hosts farmers’ markets, art walks, and street fairs that make you feel like part of the local rhythm.



With its unbeatable mix of walkability, dining, nature, and culture, this location offers an authentic Portland experience that keeps guests coming back.



Getting Around:

This is one of Portland’s most walkable areas—you’ll rarely need a car. Streetcar and bus lines are nearby, and app-based bike and scooter rentals are easy to find. Rideshares are always available. Street parking is available but can be limited, especially during peak times.



Other Things to Note:

We want your stay to be as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Please note:

• The apartment is in a multi-unit building, so some noise from other tenants may be heard

• The location is right in the heart of the action, which means you may hear some ambient street noise

• There is no dedicated parking, but metered street parking is available nearby

– Meters accept cards or payment via the Parking Kitty app

• There is no washer/dryer in the unit, but a laundromat is just a short walk away



Thanks for understanding—and for choosing to stay in one of Portland’s most dynamic neighborhoods.
