New and renovated 20th century homes in Woodlawn
Woodlawn offers a mix of single-family homes and community townhouses. Many homes were built in the early half of the 20th century, with renovations just taking place within the last three to five years. "Homes on Ainsworth Street are pretty cool. The architecture there is from the 1920s to 1940s, and there are tons of trees in the median of the street,” Oliver says. Homes with single stories, wooden and vinyl exteriors and two to three bedrooms cost between $300,000 and $550,000. Renovated and brand-new two-story homes with Craftsman columns and wide front porches can cost upwards of $800,000. For residents who want something cozier, Ainsworth-Grand Terrace’s townhouses nearby have modern designs, two to three bedrooms and balconies with garages tucked beneath them. These townhouses are priced between $430,000 and $550,000 and come with community fees and requirements.

Dekum Street sips and eats in Woodlawn
Woodlawn residents "have access to lots of different shops down in the Alberta Arts District and in town on Dekum Street. It's also centrally located so you're only about 3 or 4 miles from downtown Portland," Oliver says. Firehouse Restaurant on Dekum Street, built out of an old firehouse, has an outdoor courtyard and serves wood-fired pizzas and American cuisine. For classic Italian in a modern setting, Campana is a little spot off Oneonta Street with outdoor patio seating. Good Neighbor Pizzeria nearby has from-scratch dough pizzas in a bar setting and is open late on weekends. For gourmet groceries, P’s & Q’s Market has pantry favorites and a deli counter. Errands can be run on Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard, where there is a Safeway grocery store, an O’Reilly Auto Parts, Starbucks and Walgreens.

Gather outside at Woodlawn City Park
The largest green space in Woodlawn is Woodlawn City Park, which has several walking trails. Locals can gather to grow fresh tomatoes at the Woodlawn Community Garden or attend a performance at the Woodlawn Park Amphitheater. The park also has a basketball court, splash pad, playground and ample green spaces for picnics or hanging out with friends. Across Ainsworth Street to the south is Alberta Park, which includes covered basketball courts and an unfenced off-leash dog park. Players who enjoy pickup games of softball or tennis can take advantage of the ball diamonds and tennis courts.

Driving south to Portland’s bustling downtown
Just across the highway to the north of Woodlawn is Portland International Airport, making weekend getaways a convenient 5-mile drive away. Just south of most homes is Portland’s bustling downtown, giving Woodlawn residents access to weekend concerts, art museums, the Portland Japanese Garden and the Oregon Zoo. Several bus stops line Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard and are operated through the TriMet system. Legacy Emanuel Medical Center is about 3 miles south down that same boulevard, which is convenient in case of emergencies or checkups.

Niche Review
The Woodlawn neighborhood in Portland is a quiet up and coming place. I feel safe walking my dog at night and the neighborhood has a nice feel to it. There are good restaurants nearby within walking distance and downtown is only a 10 minute drive without traffic. Most people you greet walking down the street are friendly. If I feel like going to Vancouver WA it is only an 8 minute drive without traffic. This is a wounderful neighborhood and I would recommend living here to anyone looking for a change of scenery.
