The Neighborhood:
Overlook neighborhood is one of Portland’s favorite neighborhoods, especially the section that is in the Overlook Triangle, and close to the Overlook. As you are going out along busy bustling Killingsworth headed from I-5, suddenly you are hit with absolutely breathtaking views of Downtown Portland and Mt. Hood looking out across the river. You can also see Forest Park and the West Hills over the Industrial River area. As you curve around you see the arched bridges of Portland silhouetted by Downtown. People are walking and biking all along the way.
Overlook is bordered by the Willamette River on the SW, the Freemont Bridge on the south, I-5 to the east and Ainsworth and Willamette to the north. It is just minutes to downtown by car of bike or just hop on the MAX. It borders Arbor Lodge neighborhood, University Park, Boise–Eliot and the Willamette River! Overlook Neighborhood is a highly sought-after neighborhood and a place that many desire to live in! It has much to offer. Gorgeous homes of all styles, Craftsman Colonial, Old English, Tudor, Bungalows even New Orleans French along wide tree lined streets with well-kept yards and lots of flowers! The ones along Willamette on the river have sweeping views. People are biking and walking everywhere. There is Adidas right off Greeley and to the North is the University of Portland and it’s beautiful grounds; so it is somewhat of a college town or a running-jogging mecca! They also were the first neighborhood in Portland to be completely organic pesticide free, at least that what they are striving for!
Like the neighborhoods surrounding it, Overlook is home to some of the best restaurants, bars, and hotspots in Portland. The two best places to stroll are Interstate Ave. and Killingsworth St. We highly recommend taking a walking or bike tour of the area to see what hidden gems pop out at you.
Getting Around:
Located in the popular Overlook, North Portland neighborhood. Close by to grocery stores, coffee shops and local restaurants & amenities, Mock’s Crest Park, and the MAX light rail station. Easy access to I-5 and the Airport. Closest MAX station is Rosa Parks MAX Station, & N Killingsworth St MAX Station. Once you get to the MAX station you can easily access the entire City of Portland. Minutes to downtown, Portland waterfront and Washington Park. Car is highly suggested but definitely not required.
It is easy to take the MAX yellow line into downtown, you can bring your bike if you want to, so easy to commute to Portland. Or you can jump on Interstate and take it south down near Swan Island and get into downtown without taking the bogged down freeways! Or you could take Willamette Blvd to the St John’s Bridge and take Highway 30 into town. If you want to walk somewhere to get yummy food, buy some flowers, get a beer at a pub, or just find some cute shops to browse through, you can take the walking bridge over the freeway and get to Mississippi and all its restaurants, cafes and pubs, or head towards St Johns, Kenton or any of the other little business areas that are close by. Overlook Neighborhood feels secluded when you are in its protected little streets, but it has easy access to many new quaint eateries, it really isn’t far out at all!
