South Burlingame, located between Multnomah Village and Hillsdale, is a residential and hillside Portland neighborhood with winding streets and a leafy, creek-cut landscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the SW 43rd Avenue and SW Vermont Street corner, where a small cluster of local storefronts and everyday errands sets a calm, lived-in rhythm. Nearby pillars include the Village Theater & Pub, the Multnomah Arts Center, and the Hillsdale Farmers Market. Housing leans toward mid-century ranches, tidy bungalows, and newer infill tucked into sloped lots. Tree canopy and pocket greenspaces shape a quiet, walk-and-bike feel, with Terwilliger’s trails and the Willamette River corridor close by. Commutes and weekend plans often orbit Barbur Boulevard and Capitol Highway, linking to shops, cafes, and campus energy.
