Located in the northeast section of Portland, Grant Park combines a suburban-like enclave with increased walkability and a quick 4-mile commute to downtown. The neighborhood bears its name from President Ulysses S. Grant – who visited the community three times prior to lending his name to the community and the centrally located park and high school. The community is also known for being the home of notable Children’s writer, Beverly Cleary, who is credited as one of America's most successful authors. Charming homes constructed in the early 1920s are found here, sought-after for the unique custom builds that bring a home-style feel to the community.
