The Neighborhood:

Nestled in the trees overlooking the river, in Forest Park. The neighborhood is quiet and you can hop on a trail directly out your door. This is a great space for the outdoor enthusiast that wants to stay close to the city. The location is across the bridge (St Johns Bridge is one of Portland's oldest & most photographed bridges) St Johns is an eclectic North Portland neighborhood with it's own town center. The neighborhood retains its small-town charm with its many locally owned shops, pubs and cafés. Spring thru Summer there is a local Farmers Market every Saturday. Annual St Johns Parade, St John's Ale Fest and the Cathedral Park Jazz Fest are a must! Pack a picnic blanket for an afternoon in Cathedral Park, cross the picturesque St. Johns Bridge and get ready to explore a lovely, lesser-known side of Portland.



Getting Around:

This is a residential neighborhood on a hillside across the bridge from St Johns, 10 minutes to NW Portland/NW 23rd Neighborhood, less than 15 minutes to Downtown. Location is 20 min to PDX and to Vancover WA. A car is advised although UBER is a good option if you don't plan to bring a car. Once you get downtown you can use the MAX light rail to get all over Portland Metro. There is a bus stop at the bottom of the hill from the house but public transportation is limited.



Other Things to Note:

- this property is located on the hillside in Forest Park and it is a drive up a steep and winding road to the property. The road can be sometimes slick and hard to access during snow or winter months. An SUV is recommended during the winter months.

-This is a lower level daylight basement apartment and the owners and their children live directly above the property. As with any Basement apartment noise can travel.
