Outdoor living 5 miles from downtown Portland

Named for the extinct volcano that lies less than a mile south, North Tabor is a residential neighborhood popular among outdoor lovers looking to be just a short drive from the active atmosphere of downtown Portland, Oregon. Like most of eastern Portland, North Tabor grew up along a series of streetcar lines that fanned out across the city at the turn of the century. Many of the neighborhood's homes date back to this period, including the seven-bedroom Shogren House, where sisters May and Ann Shogren lived while they ran a clothing business that catered to Portland's elite in the 1910s. Today, North Tabor residents enjoy proximity to the interstate and city conveniences while remaining just a short distance from the verdant outdoor spaces that the Pacific Northwest is known for. “It’s almost like living in a park,” says Claire Paris, a local broker with Paris Group Realty. “Because you can walk to two of the area’s biggest parks in just 20-minutes or less.”

Mid-century moderns and colorful Victorians

Homes here are more affordable compared to surrounding communities like Laurelhurst and Mt. Tabor, with an average listing price of $600,000. "North Tabor was developed a little later than other neighborhoods, so you'll get a lot of Mid-Century moderns and World War II ranches," Paris says. The typical North Tabor home is around 1,800 square-feet with a quarter-acre lot, with architectural styles ranging from charming bungalows and Cape Cods to Victorians and sturdy craftsman-style builds. One-bedroom, 700-square-foot condo units can be snagged for $270,000, while newly renovated, 3,000-square-foot Colonial Revivals and Victorians have price tags of $700,000 and above.

Wooded trails and skyline views

Walking to Mt. Tabor Park is a popular weekend activity among local dog owners and those simply looking to enjoy the quiet trails. The 176-acre park is home to three wooded hiking routes, picnic tables, tennis courts and an off-leash dog area. Hiking to the park’s highest point rewards visitors with 360-degree views of the Portland skyline and the surrounding neighborhoods. Walking a mile west of North Tabor’s residential streets brings residents to Laurelhurst Park, where they can stroll along the paved paths while enjoying views of Firwood Lake. The park also features a playground, pickleball courts and a skate park.
