Work and play come together in Portland’s Lloyd District

Across the Willamette River from Downtown Portland, the Lloyd District is one of the city’s main business and entertainment centers. Office towers loom above commuters, who flood the neighborhood every weekday morning, while Veterans Memorial Coliseum and the Moda Center welcome various events throughout the year, the latter of which sees hordes of Portland Trail Blazers fans during the NBA season. The TriMet MAX Light Rail makes it easy to get in and out of the area, though many of the neighborhood’s condo buildings are within walking distance of daily necessities.

Housing, home prices and homeowners associations

A dramatic majority, 88% of Lloyd District residents are renters. However, one- to two-bedroom condos, mostly built around the turn of the last century, go from the upper $100,000s to the upper $300,000s. Most come with monthly homeowners association fees ranging from $350 to $730.

Lots of things to do in the Lloyd District

The Lloyd District is home to several of the city’s main event venues. The Moda Center is probably the most notable, home to Trail Blazers. Beginning in the spring of 2026, the team will also share the arena with the Portland Fire, the city’s new WNBA team, until it closes for a potential renovation, which the owners are still seeking funding for. The Moda Center also hosts a variety of concerts, the first of which was headlined by David Bowie and Nine Inch Nails in 1995. Next door, the Veterans Memorial Coliseum offers a wide range of entertainment, including:

  • Portland Winterhawks games, which are part of the Western Hockey League (WHL)
  • Big-name musical acts, which have included Johnny Cash, Aretha Franklin, Elvis Presley and Queen
  • Figure skating performances, monster truck rallies and more
The Oregon Convention Center is the third piece of the Lloyd District’s entertainment trifecta. In addition to hosting events like Rose City Comic Con, it also features a public art collection that includes the world’s largest Foucault pendulum. A number of hotels line Northeast Grand Avenue and Northeast Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard for out-of-town guests attending events in the district. “I live off of MLK, but I usually go around the Lloyd District, because it can get congested,” says Kellie Kotlar, a broker with Proud Realty, LLC, who has about a decade of experience.

Restaurants, bars and development in the neighborhood

While most of the eateries in the Lloyd District are fast-food chains, a few local restaurants and bars are scattered around the neighborhood as well. Fresh sashimi and carefully plated sushi rolls travel down the conveyor belt at Sushi Ohana, while the Taste Tickler is a popular stop-in for no-fuss sandwiches and teriyaki bowls.

The Lloyd Center, once the city’s largest mall, is entering its next chapter. “They just tore down the Nordstrom, and they’re putting a music venue in. They are building that right now,” Kotlar says. As for the rest of the old mall, it will be repurposed as a mixed-use space with housing, restaurants, entertainment venues, workspace and green space. “That is going to be a major, major development in that entire neighborhood. Along with the work at the Moda Center, there’s going to be a lot of development in the next five years.”

Walking and taking public transit in the Lloyd District

Several public transit services are available in the Lloyd District. There are four TriMet MAX Light Rail stations in the neighborhood, each with service to three of the system’s lines, all connecting to downtown. The A and B routes of the Portland Streetcar also stop throughout the Lloyd District on their loop through Downtown, Old Town Chinatown and the Pearl District. Otherwise, getting around the district on foot is easy; the area is dotted with restaurants, grocers, offices and green spaces, and most streets have sidewalks. Both Interstate 5 and Interstate 84 pass through the area, though parking may be hard to find.

Nearby parks and green spaces

While Lloyd District is largely a concrete jungle, office buildings and sidewalks give way to a few green spaces. Shaded walking paths lead toward a splash pad in Holladay Park, which is scattered with statues. The Vera Katz Eastbank Esplanade is a mile-and-a-half-long path with panoramic views of the Willamette River in the southwest of the neighborhood. “When my daughter was little, I used to ride my bike down the Esplanade, and we would go to Sellwood Park,” Kotlar says. “It’s a really awesome path to have.”
