A centrally located Portland neighborhood
Sabin is a residential neighborhood at the heart of Portland’s famously artsy East Side, surrounded by some of the West Coast’s top entertainment and dining opportunities. A quiet community, Sabin offers residents easy access to all the best parts of the city. “Sabin is adjacent to Irvington and a handful of other good neighborhoods,” says Coldwell Banker Bain Broker Shannon Janssen, a longtime Portland resident. “It’s centrally located. A lot goes on in the Alberta arts district, which is pretty close by.” A well-tended community garden, orchard and park are also within reach for residents to enjoy.
Various home styles both old and new
Sabin’s streets are parsed into a grid of single-family homes close to one another. Modest lots and neat, predictable blocks characterize the community. Driveways are not always a given, but there is just enough room for residents to park on the street. Prospective buyers will find cross-gabled craftsman-style homes sitting at two or three stories tall. Bungalows are also a familiar style, with standard pillared entryways and walkways leading to the front door. Visitors might spot the occasional postmodern home woven into the streetscape. These tend to be newer builds, contrasting sharply with the longstanding bungalows. “People are primarily looking for the older, charming 1920s and 1930s builds,” explains Janssen. Most homes fall within the range of $550,000 to $800,000, although more lavish homes have outlying prices beyond $1 million.
