Suburban neighborhood, rural setting, access to Downtown Portland

With fertile land, lots of biodiversity, the occasional cluck of backyard chickens and nearly 20 acres of lush forest in the middle of the neighborhood, those who pass through West Portland Park may think they’re far from urbanity. But therein lies the charm of this southwest Portland neighborhood—though it’s teeming with flora and fauna, it’s only eight miles from the center of one of the West Coast’s largest cities. Residents of West Portland Park enjoy several natural areas nearby and have the ability to keep chicken and goats on their property, yet they’re minutes from restaurants, grocery stores and Interstate 5, which takes them directly to Downtown Portland.

Seventeen acres of moss, mushrooms and evergreens

The Loll Wildwood Natural Area encompasses more than 17 acres of West Portland Park with thick evergreen forest and moss-covered branches. The sun peeks through the bare trunks of deciduous and evergreen trees at hikers, while ferns shroud the forest floor, only making room for mushrooms of varying shapes and sizes to bloom. The Kerr Natural Area is a slightly smaller wooded area enclosed by a residential semi-circle at the very south of the neighborhood. Red and yellow leaves from towering trees float onto the nearby yards and driveways. Residents can reflect on the benches at Holly Farm Park while children zip down the slides of the park playground. The park’s “Skatespot” features a contoured bowl, a delicious landscape for any skater to pick speed up on. When the notorious Portland rains pick up, residents can head to the Ritual Room escape room, where they try to solve a series of riddles in under an hour in order to join the Vox Aurea Secret Society.

Contemporary ranch-style homes in West Portland Park

Split-levels and contemporary ranch-style homes, many with tuck-under garages, line the predominantly residential streets of West Portland Park, their yards accented by eclectic arrangements of different shrubs and flowers. Many of the streets in the neighborhood don’t have sidewalks, reminding visitors of West Portland Park’s pastoral charm. Homebuyers can expect to spend between $600,000 and $800,000 for a three- to four-bedroom house, or between $400,000 and $500,000, if they are looking for a smaller bungalow or ranch-style home with two or three bedrooms. Investors will find fixer-uppers on the market in the upper $300,000s, while those looking to spend less may be interested in two-bedroom condos and townhouses that stay largely in the $200,000s.

Interstate 5 takes commuters Downtown or to Salem

Southwest Capitol Highway runs through most of the neighborhood, taking residents to all the important locales: Holly Farm Park, Markham Elementary, the county library as well as a few apartment complexes. West Portland Park is also bordered by Interstate 5, which residents take to get to Downtown Portland in around 10 to 15 minutes. “There are two types of people who live in the southern suburbs of Portland,” says Ernest Cooper, principal broker and owner of Cooper Realty, LLC. “People that work in Downtown Portland, and those who work in Salem or the farther suburbs.” The neighborhood’s proximity to Interstate 5 is a driving pull factor, making the commute both towards and farther from Portland convenient.

Local sports fans gather at Bullseye Pub

Though they are minutes from Portland’s trendy downtown, residents of West Portland Park have several neighborhood options when they are in the mood for a night on the town. Bullseye Pub is a comfy haunt that serves all-day breakfast, barbecue, tacos and much more—with a dozen beers on tap, too. There are plenty of TVs that line the walls for when a Trail Blazers basketball or Timbers soccer game is on. The Thai Orchid has been serving the Portland Metro area—with a location in West Portland Park—since 1992. Diners can indulge in drunken noodles and beef pho, or rev up with a refreshing Thai iced coffee, surrounded by plenty of leafy plants, Thai statues and decorations. There are several other spots to try for date nights or dinner with friends along Southwest Pacific Highway West, though residents travel a little over five minutes outside of the neighborhood to get to Fred Meyer for groceries.
