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:

The location is extremely walkable—most guests leave their car behind. Portland’s streetcar and bus lines are close by, and bike/scooter rentals are available throughout the neighborhood. Street parking is available, but it can be tricky to find a spot at peak hours.



Other Things to Note:

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

• This apartment is located in a multi-unit building, so occasional noise from other tenants may be heard.

• The unit faces a lively, central street—an unbeatable location, but some ambient city noise is possible.

• There is no dedicated parking, but metered street parking is available. Meters accept cards, and you can also use the Parking Kitty app to pay.

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



Thanks for your understanding—and for choosing to stay in one of Portland’s most iconic neighborhoods!
