Modern meets historic in Hosford-Abernethy

Hosford-Abernethy, 2 miles from downtown Portland, is a commercial and residential location with historical significance. “Hosford-Abernethy is a high-demand location,” says Darryl Bodle, broker and real estate agent at Darryl Bodle Real Estate. “Part of that is because of its walkability and the commercial intertwined with the residential.” Hosford Middle School and Abernethy Elementary School are the area’s namesake, marking either end of the neighborhood. While most of Portland is set up in a grid system, a rectangle of housing and greenery known as Ladd’s Addition breaks this tradition. The wine and liquor merchant William S. Ladd designed the long, diagonal streets of the nationally recognized 1930s subdivision. It is also home to the still-active 1913 St. Philip Neri Catholic Church. “My favorite thing about this area is Ladd’s Addition,” says Teasha Schmidt, a local Realtor with Madaire Realty. “With a bunch of beautiful, old Portland homes. As you go through the neighborhood, there are roundabouts with rose gardens.”

Dining on Southeast Division Street

The neighborhood is next door to the 15 blocks of restaurants, breweries, cafes and other eateries located on Southeast Division Street. This restaurant hub is home to Blue Star Donuts, a local chain that specializes in gourmet doughnuts. Salt & Straw offers specialty ice cream with unique flavors. Portland Staple, PDX Sliders, serves eclectic sliders and fries. Across the street is Bollywood Theater, an Indian restaurant decorated with Bollywood movie posters and set in an outdoor marketplace. Off Southeast Division Street is Clinton Street Coffeehouse, a local coffee shop that serves locally sourced bagels and pastries. Residents visit New Seasons Market: Seven Corners for groceries and other necessities.

Portland's top attraction in Hosford-Abernethy

Ladd’s Addition has public rose gardens marking each cardinal direction and the Ladd Circle Park & Rose Garden at its center. The gardens feature over 3,000 roses in 60 varieties. Joggers and bikers hop on the Eastbank Esplanade, part of the mixed-use trail network that runs throughout Central Portland on either side of the Willamette River.

Bikers congregate in Ladd’s Addition for Ladds 500

In April, costumed bikers flood the diagonal streets of Ladd’s Addition, aiming for Ladd Circle Park. “Ladds 500,” says Schmidt. “People will ride around those circles for 100 miles. It’s a super fun event for the community.” Bikers aiming to reach 100 miles while circling Ladd’s central park form teams and wear matching costumes, resulting in an eclectic array of headgear from banana hats to lampshades. Religious services are held at St. Sharbel Catholic Church, Saint David of Wales, Vietnamese Assembly of God Church and others around the area.

Residents can walk or bike within the area, and bus stops line popular roadways leading into downtown and throughout the city. “Lots of walkability, lots of bankability,” says Schmidt. “The whole area is extremely bike-friendly.” The MAX Orange Line of the Light Rail runs through the neighborhood leading to downtown Portland and Milwaukie, 5 miles away. U.S. Route 26 and Oregon Route 99E, also lead into downtown. Interstate 5 takes commuters outside the area, stretching from California to Washington state. The Providence Portland Medical Center is 4 miles away, and the Portland International Airport is 9 miles away. The CAP Index crime score is a 6 out of 10, higher than the national average of 4.

Residents may also reach out to police officers during community meetings.
