8828 N Willamette Blvd, Portland, OR 97203

A lovely hillside neighborhood overlooking the Willamette River, with views across to Forest Park, near the historic St. Johns Bridge, and a few blocks stroll to the village of St. Johns with its own movie theater, fun coffee shops, library, and restaurants. An organic market and cafe, terrific well-serviced bookstore and some of the best Mexican food in the city. St. Johns is ethnically diverse and relatively peaceful with many younger couples and new families settling in the area. Parks abound, from Cathedral Park with its summer free jazz festival and other events, to Pier Park, home of a well used frisbee golf course and recently renovated skateboard park. Tennis and racquetball center, convenient commute to downtown Portland, the west side of town, Vancouver and points on highway 30 such as Sauvie Island.
