Part of the Gresham community
North Central Gresham, 15 miles from Portland, has come a long way since its agricultural origins. "There are a lot more people in Gresham than there used to be," says Mary Gossett, past president of the now inactive North Central Neighborhood Association. When Gossett moved to North Central in the late 1960s, "It was nothing but berry farms behind my house. Now it's just other houses." North Central has grown into a dense suburb with a strong sense of community. Residents enjoy walkability, diverse parkland and proximity to historic downtown Gresham.
Cul-de-sacs of ranch-style homes
Ranch-style builds and split levels from the 1960s and 70s sit on lots large enough for tree-studded lawns and driveways. Homes built in the 90s are more tightly packed. Gated fences for furry friends are common, and some sidewalks grow mossy in the moist environment. Three- and four- bedroom houses typically fetch between $350,000 and $550,000, with remodeled homes sitting on the higher end. The neighborhood has a few newer subdivisions with large Millennial builds, where prices can climb above $600,000.

Picnics, hiking and go-karts within North Central
The neighborhood’s Red Sunset Park has soccer and baseball fields, basketball courts a playground and covered picnic pavilions with grills. Locals can stroll and walk dogs past the park’s large pond, which attracts hundreds of ducks and geese during migration season. For more diverse wildlife spotting, Salish Ponds Wetland Park offers fishing and walking paths lined with ash trees, willows and cattails. Residents are close to iconic natural sights like Multnomah Falls and Mount Hood. Indoor fun can be found at Wunderland, an entertainment center with a movie theatre, laser tag, go-karts and more.

Residents shop and eat local
Shopping and dining are clustered along Burnside Road, Stark Street and Glisan Street. Locals can find grocery stores such as Fred Meyers and Natural Grocers and a handful of “good old mom and pop places,” according to Gossett. The area has a mix of regional chains and local restaurants, including Heidi’s of Gresham, a beloved staple with a range of European-inspired dishes. Wichita Puff’s Pub is another local favorite with drinks, diverse eats and a cozy, down-to-earth vibe. Residents also benefit from proximity to historic downtown Gresham, which has vintage boutiques, hobby stores and a plethora of restaurants and cafes.
