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 exploring 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 trails, with biking permitted on designated routes 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.



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



Getting Around:

🚶 Walking — The Nob Hill / Alphabet District is one of Portland's most walkable neighborhoods. NW 23rd and NW 21st avenues are lined with restaurants, boutiques, cafes, and bars nearby.



🚌 Bus — TriMet Route 15 (Belmont/NW 23rd) runs along NW 23rd Avenue with service to downtown. Check current schedules.



🚲 Biking — BIKETOWN bike-share is available in Portland; check its current map. Portland's bike-lane network offers options for exploring by bike.



🚗 Driving — Street parking is available (read signs for time limits and meters). Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) is available.



✈️ Airport — PDX is reachable by car or with a MAX Red Line connection; check current routes and schedules.



Other Things to Note:

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



• You must take a flight of stairs to reach the apartment from an exterior staircase behind the building

• 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 subject to posted signs and open spaces. Meters accept cards and you can also use the Parking Kitty app.



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