Portland’s South Waterfront is an up-and-coming neighborhood overlooking the Willamette River just moments from Downtown. Boasting high rise buildings and Oregon Health & Science University, the South Waterfront is a thriving riverfront destination for renters with proximity to other intellectual hubs such as Portland State University. Enjoy the perk of having a tramway, the South Waterfront Tram Terminal, for a quick ride above downtown with panoramic city views, along with the convenient proximity to Interstate 5 for commuting purposes.
South Waterfront is in the heart of Portland, so it’s great for renters looking to live in the inner city. Ross Island Bridge, a car-free bridge, is a beautiful site to see after dusk, and there are numerous community parks in this urban area. Elizabeth Caruthers Park is a beautiful green space offering bocce courts, a splash pad, local art, and scenic pathways. And for beautiful riverfront views along walking and biking trails, be sure to visit the South Waterfront Greenway!
