Traditional subdivision intertwined with Gresham’s active downtown
Though Historic Southeast Gresham is a primarily residential neighborhood with schools and a green space, it’s deeply connected to the city’s charming downtown. The Gresham Japanese Garden’s carefully pruned shrubs and trees, the community-centered Arts Plaza and the collaborative network of downtown businesses are all only about a mile away from most homes. “It’s a friendly neighborhood and the new people who move in follow suit,” says Marie Salter, the owner of a small neighborhood business—Hair by Marie Salter—who grew up in Gresham. “The brand-new [housing development] that went in joined right in the culture because they bought gift cards from us for the new people who move into their place.”
Historic Southeast is located near the Gresham Arts plaza which hosts events for the city.

Community gardening and firetruck playground at Thom Park
Historic Southeast has meticulously maintained green spaces, and those exploding with wild, colorful foliage. At the center of the neighborhood, Thom Park has a firetruck-themed playground to keep children busy while enterprising parents tend to their respective plots in the park’s community garden. A trail carves through a mossy forest painted with vibrant green and yellow leaves to reveal the running track behind Dexter McCarty Middle School.
Main City Park, one of downtown Gresham’s unique green spaces, is immediately west of the neighborhood. Though the Gresham Japanese Garden takes up a small portion of the park’s total acreage, it’s one of the most recognized sections of the city park. Established as Tsuru Island—from the Japanese word for “crane”—by the Gresham-Troutdale chapter of the Japanese American Citizens League, the impeccably maintained garden is a space of peace, tranquility and longevity.
Thom Park is the primary green space for the Historic Southeast neighborhood.
Main Street Park features an off leash dog park for Historic Southeast dog owners.

Authentic 1950s diner; Mexican food and groceries
The neighborhood marks the transition between a primarily residential area and an energetic downtown. “There’s lots of foot traffic and lots of community events, so if I am trying to market my business, I can almost always walk over to the splash pad in the Arts Plaza and find a crowd or a community gathering,” Salter says. The Arts Plaza hosts events like the Gresham Farmers Market and the Music Mondays concert series throughout the warmer months.
Though much of the neighborhood is walkable to downtown Gresham, with its eateries and small businesses, Historic Southeast has its neighborhood establishments. Polar King is a true vintage diner—having opened its doors in 1952—that serves all-day breakfast, with dishes like corned beef hash, steak and eggs and omelets smothered with Southern-style gravy. On the same street, the Agave Azul Mexican Restaurant is a cheerful place to enjoy sizzling fajita plates and the “best margaritas in the city,” albeit self-proclaimed. Mexican food enthusiasts will find ingredients and other imports at Tienda Mexicana La Guadalupe Grocery Market and La Tapatia Market across the street. Otherwise, Walmart Neighborhood Market, WinCo Foods and Fred Meyer are farther east.
