Buckman blends historic architecture with a lively commercial district
Just east of the Willamette River and Downtown Portland, Buckman is an active, southeast-side community that blends a historic architectural scene with modern apartments and vibrant business districts. Named for 19th-century orchardist and city councilman Cyrus Buckman, the area carries a creative energy shaped by its well-known commercial corridors, including the Hawthorne and Belmont districts. The area draws buyers looking for proximity to shopping and dining without the accompanying bustle found in nearby neighborhoods like the Pearl District and Old Town Chinatown. The neighborhood is split into east and west sections, with blocks east of 12th Avenue featuring single-family homes, and those west of 12th offering office buildings, restaurants, hotels and popular nightlife spots.
Craftsman bungalows, Victorians and colorful early 1900s charm
The area's housing scene primarily dates to the 1890s and early 1900s, and that turn-of-the-century character shows throughout its residential blocks. American Foursquares, Craftsman bungalows and Victorian-style builds line the streets. "It's a good mix," says Molly Radany, owner and founder of Experiment PDX, a local children's museum. “Craftsman houses and old Victorians. Some get painted really cool, bright, crazy colors, which is a lot of fun.” The area features compact lots with single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes and small multifamily buildings side by side. Residential blocks are shaded by mature trees and lined with well-maintained sidewalks and front-yard greenery. Single-family homes start in the mid-$400,000s and reach about $1.2 million, with houses on the high end of the market typically featuring updated interiors and over 3,500 square feet. One to three-bedroom condos and townhouses can range from the mid-$200,000s to the high $600,000s.
Victorian architecture is common in Buckman.
Newer townhomes can be found in the mix.
