[[File:portland.png|thumb|right|Map of Portland, Oregon's five sections, prior to the creation of [[South Portland, Oregon|South Portland]] in 2020.]]
There are five addressing sections of [[Portland, Oregon|Portland]], [[Oregon]]<ref>{{Citation|title=Ordinance 61325: Street re-numbering report. Providing for renumbering of buildings and renaming of streets.|date=February 28, 1933|publisher=Auditor of the City of Portland|url=http://efiles.portlandoregon.gov/Record/2685610/|accessdate=2017-08-09}}</ref>, with a sixth to be implemented on May 1, 2020. 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.
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. Similarly the Buckman Neighborhood Association spans both NE and SE Portland.

==Sections==
==Neighborhoods==
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.
|Partially in Portland and [[Milwaukie, Oregon|Milwaukie]]. Neighborhood recognized by both cities.

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.

Farther west is the compact but thriving NW 21st and 23rd Avenue restaurant and retail area, the core of the Northwest District. Parts of this area are also called ''Uptown'' and ''Nob Hill''.<ref>[http://www.portlandneighborhood.com/nobhill.html Nob Hill Neighborhood Guide] Portlandneighborhood.com.

The neighborhood has a mix of [[Victorian-era]] houses, apartment buildings from throughout the 20th century, and various businesses centered on Legacy Good Samaritan Medical Center. The [[Portland Streetcar]] connects Nob Hill to downtown, via the Pearl.

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

Map of Portland, Oregon's five sections, prior to the creation of South Portland in 2020.

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).
