Maplewood has tree-lined streets and a quiet feel in South Portland
In Portland's Southwest Hills, Maplewood is an established community that feels far removed from city life. While just 6 miles from Downtown Portland, the neighborhood has quiet streets lined with mature fir and maple trees and lush greenery. Residents enjoy a private, secluded feel within the neighborhood, which traces its name to the maple trees planted along the Oregon Electric Railway line that once ran through the community. Two tributaries of Fanno Creek flow through the neighborhood, and the area's winding, hilly streets lead to quaint community parks and expansive recreation areas. Maplewood is primarily residential, but you can find dozens of businesses in the nearby communities of Multnomah and Garden Home. Route 10 and Interstate 5 are both close by, providing quick routes to downtown Portland and Beaverton.
A diverse housing scene with midcentury builds
Most homes in Maplewood were built between the 1920s and 1970s. Ranch-style homes define much of the area, along with Craftsman bungalows and the occasional American foursquare. “There’s a huge variety of real estate," says Michelle McCabe, a local Broker with Windemere Realty Trust. "There’s everything from small bungalows to large, newer buildings." High ceilings, hardwood floors and brick fireplaces are common, and many homes feature updated kitchens and systems while preserving original character. Front yards are dotted with shrubbery and overflowing flower beds, and fenced-in backyards have enough room for decks and spacious gardens. Properties generally fall between a quarter of an acre and half an acre. Single-family homes start in the mid-$400,000s and reach around $1.5 million, with price tags typically increasing alongside square footage, lot size and interior upgrades. Townhouses usually fall in the high $200,000s.
Public and private schools nearby
Local families are served by Portland Public Schools, with Maplewood Elementary located in the heart of the neighborhood. Every Friday, elementary students can join the Maplewood Bike Bus to bike to school with a group of peers and parents. Students can then advance to Jackson Middle and Ida B. Wells-Barnett High. The high school offers a pathways program with specializations in engineering, mass communications, computer science and health sciences. Nearby private options include Oregon Episcopal School and Jesuit High School.
