Presidential-living, Clearly in northeast Portland
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. "Grant Park offers top-rated schools with easy access to coffee shops, great restaurants, shopping, and grocery with a community forward focus, like neighborhood block parties and movies in the park in the summer months,” says Portland native John Powers, Realtor with Real Broker. With Portland’s best qualities of walkability and convenience, Grant Park offers a tranquil getaway from the bustling downtown with immediate access to urban amenities and a know-your-neighbor kind of support from the community.
Craftsman bungalows and Tudor New Traditionals
Grant Park features a variety of home styles ranging from Craftsman bungalows and Cape Cods to American Foursquares and Tudor New Traditionals. Homes here are well-constructed and many date back to the early 1920s and 30s. “The neighborhood sits below Portland's iconic Alameda Ridge and provides homes with a lot of historic detail and charm,” says Powers, with over 22 years of real estate experience. While new construction is rare, modern amenities and renovations are common – leading to increased sales prices within the area. Single family homes dominate the area. With a median sales price of $880,000, homes here range from three-bedroom bungalows costing around the high $500,000s to a five-bedroom American Foursquare costing upwards of $1,000,000. Streets here are highly walkable with vegetation and tree-lined sidewalks throughout the community providing a cozy feel. Homes here often feature single-car driveways and front porches and are typically fronted by lawn space with enough room for shrubbery and a small garden.
