Southwest Portland Real Estate
Overview
Bounded by the Willamette River to the East, and Burnside Street to the North, the Southwest area enjoys some of the best views and the most irregular terrain of any region in Portland. If you are looking for good schools, parks, and a large backyard, then you will certainly want to explore this side of Portland.
Historically, because of the abundance of flat land to build on in other parts of Portland, the Southwest region was developed more recently in Portland's history, especially as you get further away from downtown. This means that Southwest Portland is home to many of Portland's newer retail developments and enjoys modern shopping plazas and good access to freeways.
Parks & Recreation
Southwest Portland is home to dozens of parks and natural areas, including the 175-acre Marquam Nature Park, 645-acre Tryon Creek State Park, and the esteemed International Rose Test Garden.
