About

Homestead

Homestead, located between the Willamette River and Terwilliger Boulevard, is a residential and hillside Portland neighborhood with river-view slopes and wooded ravines. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the South Waterfront Greenway and the Portland Aerial Tram landing, where bike paths, riverwalk promenades, and café patios set a steady, urban-outdoors rhythm. Contemporary mid-rises and newer condos line the flats, while winding streets climb into quieter pockets above. The South Waterfront Park blocks read as a linear front porch along the river. Oregon Health & Science University and the Center for Health & Healing anchor daily motion and a campus-like feel. Trails and viewpoints along Marquam Nature Park stitch the terrain together.

RM2

Residential Multi-Dwelling 2 zone

The RM2 zone is a medium-scale multi-dwelling zone that is generally applied in and around a variety of centers and corridors that are well-served by transit. Allowed housing is characterized by buildings of up to three or four stories with a higher percentage of building coverage than in the RM1 zone, while still providing opportunities for landscaping and outdoor spaces that integrate with residential neighborhood characteristics. The major types of new housing development will be a diverse range of multi-dwelling structures and other compact housing that contribute to the intended urban scale of centers and corridors, while providing transitions in scale and characteristics to lower-scale residential neighborhoods.
