Neighborhood Reviews
Housing variety abounds here
The diversity of choice in Concordia extends to the types of homes found here. Craftsman-style bungalows, Tudors and modern contemporary homes are scattered around the neighborhood. The neighborhood has many dwellings that date back to the early 20th century, for those looking for a historic home to fix up. But home seekers can find recently built houses in Concordia, too. The multiple generations of homes here are connected by a network of sidewalks, along the neighborhood's grid network of greenery-lined blocks. Price tags in Concordia often range from the $400,000s to the $700,000s, though numbers can sometimes creep over $1 million for new or remodeled options. “There are older homes that have been renovated for today’s living,” Evers says. “So you still get the old, classic charm with the necessities of today.”

Grab some fresh air at Fernhill
Locals can use Concordia’s network of sidewalks for a stroll to Fernhill Park. This 27-acre expanse is a perfect place to spend an afternoon notching some laps on the track, perusing the onsite natural forest garden or spreading out for a relaxing picnic.
/
Schools come close by
Among Concordia’s amenities are multiple schools in the Portland Public Schools system, with campuses within walking distance for many in the neighborhood. Some students here can start at Faubion School for prekindergarten through eighth grade, which has a C rating on Niche. Other students in the neighborhood are zoned for the B-rated Vernon School for prekindergarten to eighth grade. Both Faubion and Vernon offer before and afterschool care through the YMCA of Columbia-Willamette. Students in Concordia may then progress to the neighborhood’s Alliance High School at Meek Campus, a C-plus-rated alternative high school with career-technical instruction in auto, manufacturing, natural resources and digital technology.

Art comes alive in Concordia
The Northeast Alberta Street thoroughfare that runs through Concordia is part of what’s known as the Alberta Arts District. The stretch turns into a street fair every few weeks as part of an event called Last Thursday, held on the last Thursday of the month. The event happens over the course of the year but is especially lively during the summer. It’s a chance for musicians, artists and other vendors to share their work. “Most stores are open, and it’s just kind of a festive walkabout for the community,” Casey says.

Take a trip with TriMet
Concordia is dotted with stops in the TriMet bus system, which traverses the Portland metro area. TriMet includes more than 80 lines in total.Drivers in the neighborhood can head a few miles south to reach Interstate 84 for trips across the Morrison Bridge and over to the city’s downtown. Downtown Portland is just about 6 miles away.
Plenty to explore, all around
In their free time, locals can descend to one of the thoroughfares in the neighborhood, like Alberta or 42nd Avenue, for drinks, dinner or shopping. NEPO 42, on 42nd Avenue, is one of the spots to grab a drink. The pub not only has almost two dozen beers on tap, but also a full menu of brunch, lunch and more. NEPO 42 is just down the sidewalk from Santo Domingo Taqueria, which serves authentic Mexican food with recipes derived from the city of Oaxaca, where owners Gloria Martel and Abraham Carrasco are from. Those with a sweet tooth can stop into Salt & Straw on Alberta Street for ice cream. “That’s kind of a go-to spot,” Casey says.Shoppers, meanwhile, can stroll Alberta Street for spots ranging from Parallel Worlds Bookshop to Lesley Evers Boutique, which is the Bay Area brand’s second brick-and-mortar location. “A lot of my shoppers are just people walking by with their dog or getting coffee or after breakfast,” Casey says.
Lesley Evers Boutique is only about a half-mile from Alberta Rose Theatre, where locals can catch a live musical performance. Sitting down for a movie at the neighborhood’s Kennedy School Theater, a place that screens various second-run, independent, and classic films, is an option, too. The theater is part of the multi-faceted McMenamins Kennedy School, housed in a building that used to be an actual elementary school that opened in 1915. Kennedy School now includes a hotel, a few different bars, a restaurant, the theater and more. “It’s very popular,” Casey says. “It’s popular for out-of-town guests to stay and for families to visit.” Kennedy School is just down the road from New Seasons Market, too, where locals can grab groceries for a night in.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I'm grateful for my life and everyone in it, but I would see my life as unsuccessful if I only lived here my whole life.
