Southwest (SW) Portland Neighborhoods

Hillsdale in Multnomah County - is just south of the West Hills and west of I-5 and is a quick 10 minute jaunt to downtown Portland.  Generally hilly homes range from the small bungalows built in the 30´s to larger 60´s and 70´s one level homes, some with daylight basements on larger lots ranging from 7K-15K.  Due to Hillsdale´s close proximity to downtown home prices are higher than in the suburbs, but it offers a little urban and a little suburban.  A small old town area has a natural foods store, a few shops, coffee shops and restaurants.  Neighborhood parks are Hillsdale Park, Albert Kelly Park, and Hamilton Park

Burlingame in Multnomah County  - is south of Hillsdale on the other side of I-5 by the Terwilliger Curves and a quick 7-10 minutes to downtown.  Burlingame tends to be hilly with homes from turn of the century to the 60´s on medium sized lots of 5K-9K.  While the homes are not fancy since they are so close to downtown on the west side of the river they can be expensive.  House styles tend to be Cape Cod, ranch and bungalow.  Burlingame has a small commercial area with a couple of shops and restaurants.  Close proximity to downtown keeps these home values up there.  The neighborhood park is Burlingame Park and just south of Burlingame is Tyron Creek State Park.

West Portland Park in Multnomah County - is located west of Tyron Creek Park and east of I-5 south of Burlingame and about a 10-13 minute drive to downtown Portland.  Most are ranch homes built in the 50´s 60´s and 70´s with a few fill in neighborhoods of 2 story traditionals built in the 80´s 90´s and a few in the 2000´s.  As with most Portland cities the majority of homes built after the mid 80´s are two or more levels on smaller lots, the newer the home the smaller the lot.  The older homes are on medium large lots of 9K-15k with the lots downsizing the newer the home built on it.  Considering how close it is to downtown Portland the homes are very reasonable.
