A Southwest Portland business hub
Known for its bustling business district, Multnomah Village offers residents everything from a store of curated toys to a French-inspired food cart pod. With long-running casual watering holes and plenty of options for food out, this Southwest Portland community has become a hotspot for its array of local establishments and employers. “It’s a vibrant community that’s a true melting pot. It’s really known for food and community,” says Peter Cutile, a broker with Modern Realty who lives in the area. Founded in the early 20th century, this community sprang up around an Oregon Electric Railway depot station that gave people living in a densely forested area easy access to downtown Portland. Today, evidence of this wooded community is apparent in the many single-family homes settled among mature greenery. These properties range from older constructions like Craftsman bungalows to newer, contemporary builds. It’s not just Multnomah Village’s diverse housing scene that can appeal to prospective residents. Encouraging a community-oriented feel are the neighborhood’s many events, including an annual Earth Day celebration and First Fridays, monthly gatherings at the business district, which encourage people to shop locally. Also boasting a couple of recreational spaces, Multnomah Village has become a highly desirable place for its amenities and proximity to downtown Portland, which is just around 6 miles away.

Multnomah Village Business Association: Shopping, dining and more
Multnomah Village is known as one of the hottest spots in Portland for shopping and dining. Offering an eclectic mix of primarily locally owned establishments, ranging from the independent Annie Bloom’s Books to art galleries like Village Glass Studio, this neighborhood gives its residents plenty of options to explore. For more creative opportunities, locals can enroll in programs at the Multnomah Arts Center (MAC). Many of the community’s establishments, including Thinker Toys, where shoppers can find a selection of curated offerings, line the community's business district on Southwest Capital Highway. Also along the main commercial thoroughfare are an array of eateries, like Grand Central Bakery, a spot known for its homemade rustic bread and Tastebud, a hip restaurant popular for its wood-fired pizzas. Among other neighborhood watering holes is The Ship Tavern, a 1940s establishment known for its chili dogs and live music. Also in the community is the Multnomah French Quarter, a food cart pod inspired by France’s village squares, giving locals a one-stop spot for everything from fresh produce to a diverse selection of eateries. For quick essentials, locals can head to a nearby Plaid Pantry, and for a more comprehensive selection of goods, they can go to Fred Meyer.

Older constructions and new builds: Craftsman bungalows and more
Tucked among the dense greenery of Multnomah Village’s residential pockets are everything from early 20th-century Craftsman properties like bungalows to new contemporary builds that are known for their narrow constructions. Other single-family homes that line the hilly streets, which often reflect the nature of residents’ grassy lawns, include Foursquares, known for their boxy constructions, sprawling ranch-style dwellings and split-levels. Prices typically range from around $260,000 to $1.1 million, depending on the property’s age, size and location. On the lower end of the scale are likely some of the area’s condos, while properties on the higher end often range from Craftsman bungalows to new farmhouse-style dwellings. While many homes boast attached garages, residents can also park on streets that sometimes have bike lanes and don’t typically feature sidewalks. While most residents don’t have to adhere to HOA guidelines, some of those living in the area’s townhouses and condos, many of which were built in the ‘90s, do. There are also a number of apartment complexes in the community that add to the 49% of residents who rent their properties here.

Community parks and nearby recreational destinations
Outside adventurers will enjoy their proximity to several green spaces, including the community’s 90-acre or so Gabriel Park, where visitors can let their furry friends loose at the off-leash dog area and skateboarders practice their flips at the skate park. Joggers head on the aptly named paved Woodland Trail, which winds through sections of mature trees. Conveniently located to the park’s green space is the Southwest Community Center, which is a popular spot for those wanting to swim some laps in the pool. Also in the community is the recently renovated around 4.5-acre Spring Garden Park, where kids can have fun on the ADA-accessible playground, popular on warm days for its interactive water feature. Taking the park’s hilly nature in mind, designers worked to improve storm drainage by increasing the native wildflowers and grasses, which come in handy during the rainy winter months. For other recreational opportunities, locals will be less than 8 miles from nearby attractions like the Oregon Zoo and the River View Natural Area, which borders the Willamette River.

Multnomah Days Festival & Parade and other events
Multnomah Village boasts an active neighborhood association and isn’t short of events. Locals often gather to volunteer at one of the community’s parks. “It’s very green,” says Cutile, “Both in the sense that the surroundings are green and that people here are eco-friendly.” Another nature-oriented event includes the annual Earth Day Spring Festival, giving locals an opportunity to celebrate with everything from art to drinks. Also popular among many residents here is the Multnomah Days Festival & Parade, where people immerse themselves in an open-air street gathering that’s complete, among other attractions, with entertainment options and plenty of opportunities to taste local flavors. It's held every third Saturday of August. For more frequent events, the community hosts First Fridays, which encourages patrons to shop locally by having businesses offer special savings, events and extended hours. Another opportunity to shop small is the Multnomah Village Farmers Market, which runs on Fridays from early summer to early fall. Locals can also find an array of opportunities nearby. “That’s what is cool about Portland. People find community in unique spaces,” says Cutile. “There are biking communities, coffee communities, beer communities. People will create a community around almost any niche.”

A great little village in the Southwest hills of Portland. It is tucked away and very safe, with families and people all around. While it is more quiet, downtown is just a 15 minute drive, and then you are in the center of Portland.
