At one with nature, within access to city amenities
Marshall Park may be within the Portland city limits, but it feels anything but urban. Homes shaded by towering trees enjoy views of a 400-foot canyon almost in their backyards with the quarry-turned-park that the neighborhood is named after. “There’s the hiking in Marshall Park and all of the beautiful trees,” says Jon Sanford, a local realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices NW Real Estate. “You don’t find that proximity to nature in other larger cities with that level of convenience.” Marshall Park residents wake up to the stillness of Oregon nature, yet they can be at several urban centers in a matter of minutes.
Marshall Park, the park
The neighborhood is named after Marshall Park, a 26-acre green space that was once a quarry. The former owners of the land, Frederick and Addie Mae Marshall, committed to restoring the habitat before they donated it to the City of Portland as a public park in 1948. A thick blanket of moss covers the long, scraggly branches that serve as a resting place for the occasional owl, songbird or woodpecker. Tryon Creek flows through the park—becoming a rushing waterfall at some points—before it passes through the Tryon Creek State Natural Area next door and joins the Willamette River. Featuring a 400-foot canyon, a play area for children and an 0.8-mile, family-friendly loop with a view of the Marshall Cascades, the park is the highlight of the area. Nearby, the Tryon Creek State Natural Area offers biking and horseback trails, in addition to hundreds of more acres of forest.
The Marshall Park neighborhood is popular among hikers.
Marshall Park is a proactive and nature-loving neighborhood perfect for walks, runs or bikes.

Private homes backing up to enormous forests
The residential streets of Marshall Park climb up the hilly terrain of the neighborhood, containing ranch-style homes and Craftsman two-levels dappled with sunlight filtered by tall, leafy evergreens and deciduous trees. With lots that are a little larger and older than those in nearby communities, residents of Marshall Park value their privacy. “My last client who bought there said, ‘When I look out at my kitchen window, I don’t want to see a house. I don’t want to see somebody else,’” Sanford says.
Vinyl, ranch-style homes built between the 1950s and ‘70s with three to four bedrooms usually cost between $600,000 and $800,000, while those with one or two fewer bedrooms typically cost in the $500,000s. Residents of Marshall Park enjoy more spending power than those in many other neighborhoods across the country. At $128,750, the median household income in Marshall Park is significantly higher than the national average household income of $70,967.

Elementary school tutors from Lewis & Clark College
Marshall Park children attend Capitol Hill Elementary School, which earns a B-plus from Niche and is planning for a new schoolyard with added green space in 2024. To prepare its students well for the rest of their academic journey, the school offers public speaking workshops and partners with nearby Lewis & Clark College and Reading Results to provide academic tutors and extra reading support. After attending Jackson Middle School, which also receives a B-plus, teenagers enroll at Ida B. Wells High School. The B-rated school offers a balance of academics and recreation. Students can get a head start on college credit with 28 Advanced Placement courses and 12 dual credit courses, and decompress at the school’s swimming pool, pickleball courts, courtyard and new, all-weather turf field.

Shopping in nearby suburbs and neighborhoods
Though Marshall Park is entirely residential, it’s close to two popular shopping centers on its north and south sides. Residents can take a short trip north to window-shop the local boutiques and specialty stores of Multnomah or replenish their groceries at the Safeway and Fred Meyer on Barbur Boulevard. There are also local eateries along the gridded streets of Lake Owego for those who live in the south of the neighborhood. Those craving fresh produce can venture to the year-round Hillsdale Farmers Market on Sunday mornings next to Ida B. Wells High School. There, more than 50 local farmers and food artisans sell their products, in addition to native herbs and dried-cut flower vendors.

Far from busy, close to everything
Though it may feel isolated from the rest of the world by a thick boundary of dense forest, Marshall Park is just south of Interstate 5, which takes residents to Downtown Portland in under 15 minutes. Lake Oswego, which is about 10 minutes from the neighborhood, and Multnomah, about 5 minutes away, offer plenty of shops and local dining experiences, too.
