Walkability draws buyers to this Southwest Portland neighborhood
A large, family-friendly residential area in Southwest Portland, "Hillsdale is one of the most favored neighborhoods in Southwest Portland," says Realtor Darryl Bodle, who's closed over 3,700 sales in his nearly quarter century of experience in the Portland market. "It's very walkable and has easy freeway access, lots of well-known restaurants and excellent schools." He points out that walkability is unique in the Portland market, and that fact is what attracts most buyers to the area. "Most parts of Southwest Portland aren't walkable to anything, but Hillsdale is popular because it is. You can walk to restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, schools. Most errands can be accomplished on foot. There are only a few walkable neighborhoods on the west side of Portland, and this is one of them."

Hillsdale is a great place to live. It's a quiet community. There are plenty of restaurants. Parks are safe. I rent, but if I had an interest in being a home owner I would buy in this neighborhood. Traffic isn't an issue for me.

Crime infested due to outbreaks of assault and drugs. Leading me to give it a poor rating. Now the high school is where all the gangs hangout now instead of students.
