Hillsdale, located between Multnomah Village and Lake Oswego, is a residential and commercial Portland neighborhood with a hillside setting and a compact town-center strip. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along SW Capitol Hwy at SW Sunset Blvd, where sidewalk cafes, local services, and small storefronts cluster around steady foot traffic. Community pillars include the Hillsdale Farmers Market, Baker & Spice, and the historic Capitol Hill Library. Mid-century ranches and newer infill sit on winding streets that rise toward wooded slopes. Ridges and green corridors shape daily routes, with trailheads and parks threading into nearby natural areas. Transit lines along Capitol Highway tie the district to the rest of the city.
