Sellwood Real Estate

Neighborhood Overview

Sellwood is quiet residential neighborhood situated on a bluff on the East bank of the Willamette river. It is very pedestrian friendly with wide sidewalks and a vibrant retail district, including a diverse selection of mainstream and ethnic restaurants and a variety of independent retailers. Sellwood is very community oriented and enjoys an almost quaint small town atmosphere.

The small town character can probably be attributed in part to its origins as an independent town that was eventually annexed into the city of Portland in 1893. It is home to a well known antique row for acclaimed vintage shopping, and has a number of historic buildings along the main commercial blocks. The local restaurants. cafes, and pubs include a wide variety of cuisines such as Italian, Thai, Greek, Mexican, and Vietnamese.
