Craftsman cottages and Prairie-style residences
The single-family properties in the Cottage District vary in age; some were constructed centuries ago, and some were only built in the last decade. “There are quite a few homes here that date from the early 20th century, mostly bungalows and Craftsman-style homes. A lot of those have been renovated, and they’re really super charming,” says Robynne Whitaker, a local Realtor with the NW Real Estate Team at Pattie Millen Group. While walking down the neighborhood's hilly streets, residents might notice that homes differ in housing styles and architectural features. “You can have a bungalow right next to a mansion; it’s not homogenous at all,” Whitaker says. Craftsman cottages with stone detailing, New Traditional homes from the 2000s and classic Prairie-style residences can all be found throughout the Cottage District. Many properties here feature driveways and garages, but parking on the street is also common. Single-family homes in this area cost between $450,000 and $900,000.

Theatre performances at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival
