Portland, Oregon is divided into six sections: [[North Portland, Oregon|North Portland]], [[Northeast Portland, Oregon|Northeast Portland]], [[Northwest Portland, Oregon|Northwest Portland]], [[South Portland, Oregon|South Portland]], [[Southeast Portland, Oregon|Southeast Portland]], and [[Southwest Portland, Oregon|Southwest Portland]]. There are 95 officially recognized neighborhoods, each of which is represented by a volunteer-based neighborhood association. No neighborhood associations overlap the Willamette River, but a few overlap the addressing sextants. For example, most addresses in the South Portland Neighborhood Association are South, but a portion of the neighborhood is west of SW View Point Terrace where addresses have a SW prefix.

Each neighborhood association defines its own boundaries, which may include areas outside of Portland city limits and (if mutually agreed) areas that overlap with other neighborhoods. Neighborhoods may span boundaries between the six sections ([[North Portland, Oregon|North Portland]], [[Northeast Portland, Oregon|Northeast Portland]], [[Northwest Portland, Oregon|Northwest Portland]], [[South Portland, Oregon|South Portland]], [[Southeast Portland, Oregon|Southeast Portland]], and [[Southwest Portland, Oregon|Southwest Portland]]) of the city as well. The segmentation adopted here is based on Office of Community & Civic Life's district coalition model, under which each neighborhood is part of at most one coalition (though some neighborhoods are not included in any). |

Northwest Portland includes the [[Pearl District, Portland, Oregon|Pearl District]], most of [[Old Town Chinatown, Portland, Oregon|Old Town Chinatown]], the [[Northwest District, Portland, Oregon|Northwest District]], and various residential and industrial neighborhoods. A range of streets primarily in Northwest Portland is named alphabetically from Ankeny through York (the street following York is Reed Street). The street between Wilson and York was called "X Street" until it was renamed as Roosevelt Street.<ref>[http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ormultno/Land/ord7446.htm Ordinance 7446] in 1891, which renumbered street addresses, shows the alphabetical streets through York Street.</ref> Burnside Street, the "B" in the sequence, divides the Northeast and Northwest quadrants of the city from the Southeast and Southwest. |

The Pearl District is a recent name for a former [[warehouse]] and industrial area just north of downtown. Many of the warehouses have been converted into [[loft]]s, and new multistory [[condominium (housing)|condominium]]s have also been developed on previously vacant land. The increasing density has attracted a mix of restaurants, [[brewpub]]s, shops, and art galleries. <ref>{{Cite |url=http://www.howitravel.co/the-15-coolest-neighborhoods-in-the-world-in-2016/ |title=The 15 Coolest Neighborhoods in the World in 2016|accessdate=13 November 2016 }}</ref> The galleries sponsor simultaneous artists' receptions every month, in an event known as [[First Thursday]].<ref>{{cite news |

Between the Pearl District and the Willamette is the Old Town Chinatown neighborhood. It includes Portland's [[Chinatown]], marked by a pair of [[Chinese guardian lions|lions]] at its entrance at NW 4th Ave. and W Burnside St. and home to the [[Portland Classical Chinese Garden]]. Before [[World War II]], this area was known as Japan Town;<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ohs.org/education/focus/japanese-labor-oregon.cfm |title=Japanese Labor in Oregon |publisher=Ohs.org |date= |accessdate=2008-10-20}}</ref> Chinatown was previously located just south of W.

It includes the [[Portland International Raceway]], the [[University of Portland]], and massive cargo facilities of the [[Port of Portland (Oregon)|Port of Portland]]. Nicknames for it include "NoPo" and "the Fifth Quadrant" (for being the odd-one out from the four-cornered logic of SE, NE, SW, and NW). |

During [[World War II]], a planned development named [[Vanport, Oregon|Vanport]] was constructed to the north of this section between the city limits and the [[Columbia River]].

Northeast Portland contains a diverse collection of neighborhoods. For example, while [[Irvington, Portland, Oregon|Irvington]] and the [[Alameda Ridge]] feature some of the oldest and most expensive homes in Portland, nearby [[King, Portland, Oregon|King]] is a more working-class neighborhood. Because it is so large, Northeast Portland can essentially be divided ethnically, culturally, and geographically into inner and outer sections. The inner Northeast neighborhoods that surround Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. were once predominantly African American, resembling typical urban inner-city environments found in most major U.S. cities. However, the demographics are now changing due to the process of [[gentrification]]. In 2010, the King neighborhood was 25.9% Black or African-American, a 41.3% decrease since 2000.<ref>https://www.portlandoregon.gov/oni/article/375918</ref> Inner Northeast includes several shopping areas, such as the [[Lloyd District, Portland, Oregon|Lloyd District]], [[Alberta Arts District (Portland, Oregon)]] and [[Hollywood District (Portland, Oregon)|Hollywood]], and part of the affluent [[Irvington, Portland, Oregon|Irvington]], [[Alameda, Portland, Oregon|Alameda]], [[Grant Park, Portland, Oregon|Grant Park]], Sullivan's Gulch and [[Laurelhurst, Portland, Oregon|Laurelhurst]] neighborhoods and nearby developments. The city plan targets Lloyd District as another mixed-use area, with high-density residential development. {{Citation needed|date=October 2008}} |

Straddling the base of the borders of North and Northeast is the Rose Quarter. It is named after the [[Rose Garden (arena)|Rose Garden]], home of the [[Portland Trail Blazers]] (now named the Moda Center), and also includes the Blazers' former home, the [[Memorial Coliseum (Portland)|Memorial Coliseum]]. The Coliseum is the home to Portland's hockey team, the [[Portland Winter Hawks]], of the [[Western Hockey League]], though they often play at the Moda Center. The newest Rose Quarter tenants are the [[Portland LumberJax|LumberJax]] of the [[National Lacrosse League]]. The city still holds the lease to the land and owns the Coliseum, but the Moda Center and other buildings were owned by private business interests until they went into receivership. {{Citation needed|date=October 2008}} The area is quite active during the teams' home games, and the city hopes to extend the activity by promoting a major increase in residential units in the quarter using zoning and tax incentives. {{Citation needed|date=October 2008}} |

At the base of Northeast where its border meets Southeast, an area near the Burnside Bridge has been redeveloped into a bustling nightlife and entertainment district. The area features bars like The Chesterfield and music venues like The Doug Fir Lounge. By 2006, the area was established enough to get its own nickname: LoBU.<ref>[http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4184/is_20061116/ai_n16863955 Portland neighborhoods receive some new nicknames] Daily Journal of Commerce (Portland, OR), Nov 16, 2006 by Kennedy Smith</ref> |

Southeast Portland stretches from the warehouses along the Willamette through historic [[Ladd's Addition]] to the [[Hawthorne, Portland, Oregon|Hawthorne]] and [[Belmont, Portland, Oregon|Belmont]] districts out to [[Gresham, Oregon|Gresham]]. Southeast Portland has blue-collar roots and has evolved to encompass a wide mix of backgrounds. The Hawthorne district in particular is known for its hippie/radical crowd and small subculturally oriented shops; not far away is [[Reed College]], whose campus expands from Woodstock Boulevard to Steele Street, and from 28th to 39th Avenues. |

Latest revision as of 22:15, 14 February 2024
Portland, Oregon is divided into six sections: North Portland, Northeast Portland, Northwest Portland, South Portland, Southeast Portland, and Southwest Portland. There are 95 officially recognized neighborhoods, each of which is represented by a volunteer-based neighborhood association. No neighborhood associations overlap the Willamette River, but a few overlap the addressing sextants. For example, most addresses in the South Portland Neighborhood Association are South, but a portion of the neighborhood is west of SW View Point Terrace where addresses have a SW prefix. Similarly the Buckman Neighborhood Association spans both NE and SE Portland.
Neighborhood associations serve as the liaison between residents and the city government, as coordinated by the city's Office of Community & Civic Life,[1] which was created in 1974 and known as the Office of Neighborhood Involvement until July 2018.[2] The city subsequently provides funding to this "network of neighborhoods" through district coalitions, which are groupings of neighborhood associations. A few areas of Portland are "unclaimed" by any of the 95 neighborhood associations in Portland.
Neighborhoods
[edit]Each neighborhood association defines its own boundaries, which may include areas outside of Portland city limits and (if mutually agreed) areas that overlap with other neighborhoods. Neighborhoods may span boundaries between the six sections (North Portland, Northeast Portland, Northwest Portland, South Portland, Southeast Portland, and Southwest Portland) of the city as well. The segmentation adopted here is based on Office of Community & Civic Life's district coalition model, under which each neighborhood is part of at most one coalition (though some neighborhoods are not included in any).
