Our home is a classic Portland four square in the historic, well known neighborhood of Laurelhurst. We are close to historic Laurelhurst Park, across the street from a school playground, close to the Hollywood District, Alberta Arts District and Lloyd Center.

Neighbourhood
What you will love in the neighborhood
We live in inner Northeast Portland in the Laurelhurst neighborhood. It is one of the most desirable places to live in Portland. It takes about ten minutes to get downtown from here by car. The max line is a ten minute walk from here and takes about 15 minutes on the train to get to downtown. We're near the Hollywood District, Alberta Arts District and Lloyd Center district. We have large parks in every direction, markets that provide local Oregon foods, lots of shopping and walking around.
Getting around
We're open to a car exchange. The light rail (called "the max" in Portland) is a ten minute walk, as are multiple bus stops.
