If you're looking
for urban living, historic homes, tree-lined streets, city parks, and street
shopping instead of malls, you'll want to consider Northeast Portland.
Originally one of Portland's streetcar suburbs,
Northeast Portland underwent a great building boom from 1890-1913. During
that time, Northeast Broadway, one of the district's main thoroughfares,
evolved naturally into a busy strip of restaurants and shops needed to support
Portland's growing eastside population.
Although modern automobile travel and convenient MAX light
rail service render many of the Northeast neighborhoods a quick 7-10 -minute
jaunt to Portland's downtown core, Northeast Portland seems charmingly detached
from the bustle of the city center.
