SouthEast (SE) Portland Neighborhoods

Laurelhurst in Multnomah County - is south of Hollywood and Rose City Park on the south side of I-84.  A grand neighborhood of similar flavor to Irvington, there are quite a few mansions with brick and stone on large mature landscaped lots as well as little bungalows with quaint front porches and everything in between and most on large city lots of 7-9K making it one of the most expensive neighborhoods in Portland.   Laurelhurst also has it´s own namesake park with large mature trees and it´s own lake.  You will find craftsman and Old Portland style homes are the main architectural styles here and while the area has grown expensive, the trade off is character and a short 10 minute commute to downtown Portland.

Belmont in Multnomah County - is south of Laurelhurst, north of Hawthorne/Sunnyside and west of Mt Tabor neighborhoods and again only about a 10 minute drive to downtown Portland.  It´s a slightly bohemian neighborhood of local shops, markets, coffee houses and restaurants and a favorite destination for locals.  You will find Victorian, craftsman and bungalow homes many restored or in the process of being restored and all on city sized lots of 4-5K.  As with all close in real estate it´s expensive, but worth digging to find that perfect character home.

Hawthorne in Multnomah County - is south of Belmont, west of Mt Tabor and north of Clinton.  Totally bohemian, arty, fun and funky is the best way to describe the area, with it´s craftsman, Victorians and bungalows on city sized lots of 4-5K.  Homes in Hawthorne are becoming more expensive as the neighborhood regentrifies.  5-7 minutes and your in downtown Portland, but a world away.  Approximately 20 blocks of shops, coffee houses, restaurants, consignment shops of every sort, specialty stores and the Bagdad Theatre and Pub where you can suck suds, eat a slice and watch a movie all at the same time!
