Pirate treasure hidden in the "Good Docks"
Adairs Port of Upper Astoria—more often referred to as “Uppertown” by locals—is known for its storybook Queen Anne Victorian homes and original Craftsman builds. “I would say most people are looking for historic homes with character and river views,” says Sarah Jane Bardy, a broker with Cascade Hasson Sotheby’s International Realty. “A lot of the houses have river views because they are on the north side of the hill.” However, there’s one house that stands out among the rest: the one in which the quintessential 1980s adventure movie “The Goonies” was filmed. Though it’s most widely known as the “Goon Docks,” the neighborhood also has locations featured in films such as “Free Willy” and “Kindergarten Cop.”
Portal Park features the eastern Astoria city sign.

National Goonies Day
The legacy of “The Goonies” never dies in Astoria—the community hosts several events for National Goonies Day on June 7th, marking the release date of the film in 1985. Bus tours, scavenger hunts, movie showings and a “passport” booklet dubbed “The OreGOONIan Challenge” are a few of the activities organized by the Clatsop County Historical Society and Oregon Film Museum.

Pier 39 offers coffee, brews and a view
The Pier 39 commercial center juts out of the neighborhood into the Columbia River, offering unparalleled views of the water. Coffee Girl repurposed the oldest cannery facility in the West, where baristas now put the finishing touches on photo-worthy latte art and grill paninis. Customers can enjoy their morning coffees while gazing into the infinite blue of the river or enjoy the same view over a local brew from Rogue Pier 39 Public House. Located in the former Bumble Bee Tuna Cannery, the brewery now fries rockfish, salmon and prawns for its customers. Meals come on checkered wax paper, and patrons can choose from a wall of 30 different taps in an easygoing atmosphere. “Brewery tourism is a really big thing all over Astoria,” Bardy says. “People come for the weekend and tour all of the different breweries.” Inland, locals can grab a slice at Geno’s Pizza and Burgers or browse trinkets with a coffee in hand at Astoria Coffee Company. A Safeway is nearby for groceries and other essentials.
Grab a morning brew for you and your best friend at Coffee Girl.

Queen Anne Victorians and original Craftsman homes
The neighborhood is known for original Craftsman and Queen Anne Victorian homes that line its residential streets in playful shades of green and blue. Intricate details like gingerbread trim and fish-scale siding color almost every corner of the homes, most of which were built between the 1880s and 1920. These historic houses have been artfully restored and maintained, ranging in price from $450,000 to $600,000, with many having views of the Columbia River.
Homeowners aren’t the only ones to enjoy the neighborhood, though. Seal lions migrate from California to gather at the riverbank during the colder months, and residents can be observed as seasonal neighbors from porches and decks. Empty lots are also still available, selling for between $50,000 and $100,000.
Craftsman and Victorian hilltop homes have stunning views of the Columbia River.

Several pocket parks and Columbia Field
Drivers crossing Adairs Port of Upper Astoria’s western border will pass the Welcome to Astoria sign nestled in Portal Park, one of several small green spaces in the neighborhood. On the other end of the neighborhood, Alderbrook Park has a playground, basketball court and a picnic shelter. In between these two smaller parks, Columbia Field stretches 4.6 acres, with two softball diamonds and two pickleball courts near the 1852 U.S. Custom House reconstruction, a former 1800s customs office. Boaters can launch kayaks and canoes from a boat ramp on the river.

Astoria Riverwalk and "Old 300" trolley lead downtown
Leif Erikson Drive—also known as US Route 30—runs along the riverfront, connecting Adairs Port of Upper Astoria to downtown and continuing both east and south until it eventually reaches Portland. Locally, it passes all three of the neighborhood green spaces, as well as Geno’s Pizza and Beer, Astoria Coffee Company and Safeway. Branching off the highway is 39th Street, which extends to the river as the repurposed Pier 39 commercial area.
The Astoria Riverwalk also follows the riverbank, leading pedestrians to the shops, eateries and bars downtown. The historic “Old 300” trolley is just $1 for a ride, which stops along the riverwalk west of 39th Street.
