North Tabor
Neighborhood Reviews
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.

Niche Review
The neighborhood is friendly and quiet. People say hi walking their dogs, drive cautiously, and signal to others. I've become friends with all my surrounding neighbors and we share food, drinks, and borrow tools. It's close to Mount Tabor, so the opportunity to visit a mini forest is a 10-minute walk away.
