Centennial has well-established homes between Portland's urban core and the wide-open spaces of Gresham's suburbia. Home to longstanding restaurants, scenic hiking trails and plenty of public transit, Centennial has a slower pace of life, just 20 minutes from Downtown Portland.
Centennial has a mix of New Traditional, split-level and ranch-style homes. Prices range from the lower $200,000s to the upper $600,000s. While home values are above the nationwide average, they are typically lower than in most inner-east neighborhoods, as well as the citywide average. You can find houses from the early 1900s and 1950s, as well as newer construction from the 2000s. Some subdivisions, such as Powell Butte Heights, have 21st-century homes and direct access to Powell Butte Nature Park, though living here requires a monthly homeowners association fee. "This is the definition of suburbia. It has dead-end streets, winding roads and established landscaping. You may never want to leave," says Claire Paris, principal broker and owner at Paris Group Realty.
Glendoveer is a public golf and tennis club just north of Centennial, with two 18-hole golf courses for fair-weather play and indoor tennis courts. Play basketball or skate the half-pipes at Parklane Park, which has a playground and an off-leash dog area. It may be noisy for residents living near the Portland Gun Club on the neighborhood's south end. You can walk or bike to Powell Butte Nature Park. This extinct cinder cone volcano offers miles of hiking and mountain-biking trails that connect Centennial to awe-inspiring views of Mount Hood. You can also reach outdoor recreation southeast of the city, such as Mount Hood National Forest. "You're closer to the mountains in Southeast Portland. It's only a 40-minute drive," says Korrie Hicks, a longtime Portland resident and real estate broker at KOR Realty. "You can get to the freeway in two different directions, so it's easy to get where you need to go."
Centennial School District primarily assigns students to neighborhood schools, but families can seek in-district and cross-district transfers, as well as specialized programs. Transfers depend on district policy and are approved based on space availability, with a lottery system when demand exceeds capacity. The district's Virtual Academy has dual enrollment and full-time asynchronous options. Part of the Preschool for All program, the district has two public preschools that eligible students can attend. "I like the school district because my kids went to Centennial," Hicks says. "Many people in Portland don't know about it because it's relatively small, but I really like their programs."
While Centennial is farther from Portland's trendy breweries and retail districts, it has many Chinese restaurants, recognizable chains and dive bars, among others:
Traffic permitting, Downtown Portland is a 20-minute drive from Centennial via Division Street and Interstate 205. Portland is known for its bike-friendly greenways, including bike lanes and trails surrounding this neighborhood. The TriMet bus makes stops along Powell Boulevard and Division Street. The MAX light rail also connects residents to downtown, with train pickups on Burnside Street. Downtown Gresham is just 4 miles east, with more entertainment and employment options. Healthcare professionals can get to Adventist Health Portland in less than 15 minutes. You can book worldwide flights at Portland International Airport, approximately 11 miles northwest on I-205.
