North Gresham Homes for Rent

North Gresham is a neighborhood outside of Portland, known for its unique floating houses on the Columbia River. These floating homes offer a cost-effective way to enjoy waterfront property, though they come with a monthly slip rent. The neighborhood stretches from the Columbia River to Gilsan Street and is divided by Interstate 84, providing convenient access for commuters heading to downtown Portland or Vancouver. The area features a mix of industrial parks housing major employers, like Cardinal Health and Boeing, and a small residential section south of Halsey Street with ranch-style and Split Level homes from the 1960s and 1970s. Residents enjoy activities like kayaking to Chinook Landing Marine Park or visiting Kirk Park to use the soccer fields or playgrounds. Blue Lake Regional Park has walking paths and nature gardens. The western edge of 181st Avenue offers an Albertson's grocery store and pharmacy, along with restaurants like Elmer's Breakfast Café and Migration Brewing, which features a 20-barrel production facility and a rotating menu of tap beers. Public transportation options include bus routes and a nearby light rail station. Local schools receive mixed ratings, with Hartley Elementary and Reynolds Middle and High schools earning average scores.
