Nestled alongside the Willamette River, Portland’s Waterfront neighborhood stretches from the intersection of I-5 and I-405 in the south to Old Town Chinatown in the north. Situated just east of Downtown Portland, the Waterfront provides a peaceful reprieve from the bustle of city life without sacrificing access to metropolitan amenities.
The neighborhood is home to Tom McCall Waterfront Park, a 30-acre park boasting a scenic walking and biking path, numerous fountains, and lush landscaping. Waterfront also hosts the popular Portland Saturday Market, where patrons enjoy an array of arts and crafts in an open-air environment.
Waterfront residents delight in close proximity to countless eateries, cafes, markets, and shops. The neighborhood’s central location is a major draw for many residents, touting easy access to Portland State University and all that downtown has to offer.
